Re: Crappy custom distros...
"Why does it seem like the vendors make crappy custom versions of distros instead of just putting the base distro on it. It doesn't seem like its making the system any easier to use. I guess we'll always have to rely on doing our own installs once we get the hardware."

Vendors add crapware to Windows which often impacts the performance and experience of users. Windows is normally blamed for this instead of the vendor. Why do you believe that vendors will behave in a different fashion for Linux (generic term) distros?
