Who said anything about it being the most popular?
Oh come on... it is YOUR fault that you got offended. If my first post offended you then you must get offended a lot.
I don't see any problems, i have a great OS in Slackware and i see lots of posts on here from people moving to linux seeking help. Where is the problem? Linux is all about choice, so choose what ever you like.

Originally posted by Skrilla david ross if you are saying that I have made a personal attack against someone and refuse to see what they have done to me then that is complete BS.
Skrilla, my post was in no way directed solely at you. I merely used that post as an example, the rules of this site apply to everyone.
well as you can see I've been attacked quite a bit... and usually moderators will take the side of their long standing members before a new member
so because I am not welcome I have sent and email to LQ to deactivate my account
I think the standards that Skrilla refers to is in the nature of having a diverse community which to me is one of Linux's strengs.
With regard to promoting products, this is usually done by distribution maintainers that have something to sell. Individual 'hobiest' distributions are never going to have the same exposure and never will do.
Hardware support is a very difficult spot to cover. Most hardware is supported directly by the kernel so the distribution rarely affects this. It is more likely to be the hardware detection methods which are not always as automatic as they could be. Live CDs such as knoppix due to their nature are really helping to change this.
Skrilla, I'm not 100% sure about this sentence "My suggestion is this community needs to get their act together." Are you talking in terms of communication?
