I have spent years working with an assortment of programming languages - C, C++, Pascal/Delphi, Fortran, Ada, MS-DOS batch scripts (I didn't say all *good* languages), bash/csh scripts, SAS, PHP, Javascript...among others. Until recently I would have identified C++ as my "favorite" language. But that is changing.
I tried Fedora but I gave up on it when it repeatedly kernel-panicked on me. Wasn't fair, though - I was attempting to run it on a Sony laptop and Sony is notoriously Linux-unfriendly.

Recently I decided to change Linux disctributions on my main system and I installed BlueStar. It is an Arch-based distro which is a new experience for me; I have been using RedHat-based distros for ages, specifically Scientific. I wanted to try something new, and I ended up on BlueStar based on the reputation of Arch and based on a few reviews.
I haven't seen mod points in over 10 years. I suspect it will be a long while yet before I see them again. Oh well, I have other things to do anyway.
