Longmont Linux Users Group (LLUG) - Distro Wars!

As a result of our first meeting, we decided that we want a server to host our website, etc. and that LLUG should build said server as a teachable moment. However, in order to build a server one must pick a distribution. "CentOS!" says one, "NO, NO, NO! Ubuntu LTS!" says another, "AHHHH! Debian!" and the list goes on. So, in that spirit, this month we will be doing some lightening presentations from members who feel they have a strong argument for a particular distribution. This is an opportunity to share your love / hate for various Linux flavors. If you're new to Linux, this is your chance to explore all that the distros have to offer and to get valuable input from the users who admire them most. The format will be 5 minute presentations on your distro of choice. Tell us everything you love about it, tell us what it's really good at, tell us what could be better.

I will bring a laptop with CentOS 6, Fedora 19, Debian Wheezy, and Ubuntu 12.something LTS loaded up in Virtual Box for others to explore / present with. I would like to present on Fedora 19. If you'd like to present, please bring a system running the distribution you wish to show off. Please list in the comments what you're bringing so we can try to keep this somewhat organized and get a good mix of distributions. I'd like to limit this to about 6 presentations (30 minutes) so we have some additional time to discuss, Q&A, test drive, etc.

NOTE: This isn't limited to strictly server distros - both desktop and server are welcome / encouraged.

We'll try the downtown location for this month.

Hope to see you all there!
