Having them on hand is fine, but I think we need to only be suggesting 2
or 3 distros.

At this point I think they should likely be Fedora and one of the
debian-based systems[1]. Maybe SuSE after that. Heck, maybe one of the
*BSDs should be the 3rd choice.

I know this is gonna start flamewars, but we need to drop down the
confusion for the people we're trying to help. Heck, I'd like to move to
one suggested distro and only support a couple beyond that.

[1] Until we're certain of upgrade mechanisms for ubuntu and/or mepis I'm
inclined to stick with plain debian. Testing hardware detection via the
live CD as Siri suggests is an outstanding feature, though.

I'm pretty certain it's in the archives somewhere. I will see if I can
find a copy.
