[SGVLUG] Distro Show & Tell

[Rod Morison]

What's the distinction here between Linux servers vs desktop/GUI 
systems? If the latter, what about the Gnome vs KDE split? That can make 
a big diff in apps, look & feel: 
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kdegnome, i.e.,  
http://www.kubuntu.org/ vs http://www.ubuntu.com/. "Distro" show-n-tell 
may need a little refinement, esp to fit into a single evening, I think.

If there's interest in server show-n-tell, I run Ubuntu & OpenSuse 
servers. Early this year I migrated my mail servers from OpenSuse 10 to 
Ubuntu 8, primarily because the combination of Postfix, Cyrus IMAP/POP, 
Amavisd+ClamAV+SpamAssassin works with somewhat less hacking on Ubuntu, 
see http://morison.biz/technotes/articles/41 (it was much more work on 
Suse 10). I could speak to this installation wrt Suse vs Ubuntu server.
