I've read some comparison reviews, but they are all about 5 or 6 years old and have enough outdated information for me to ignore them. Back then, the general consensus was that Linux was "promising" but "needed a better file system and support for 8+ processor servers". Well, I already know that Linux now has a synchronous file system with logging known as ext3.
And oh yes, I think the next itteration of Linux I try out will be a bare command prompt affair. I want something fully powered where I will have to go through the task of installing a GUI myself.
Essentially, I think I'd learn the system better if I had the experience of interacting directly and working it up to GUI status.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
