Has the best, most complete, integrated, and easiest to useadministration system while still including and supporting all the standard configuration files and methods. Best package selection and options. Simple to install and configure. Things actually work. Yes, I'm pissed about recent Novell moves, including the Microsoft deal, but that hasn't yet impacted my end user experience. When and if it does, I'll jump ship to something else. Discuss
