My friends and I have come up with two terms for Linux users: those
who want to "get in and drive" and those who want to "get under the
hood."

If all you want to do is "get in and drive" then I suggest Ubuntu. If
all you're concerned about is using Linux as an OS with having to
compile anything, its great. However, setting up Euphoria is a hassle
(environment variables don't work the same -- but I found a way around
that).

If you'd like to "get under the hood" or at least start to, I suggest
something typical like Mandrake 10.0 or Fedora Core 5 (or whatever the
latest versions of those are).

If you're looking for the complete opposite of Ubuntu, look at Gentoo.
On Gentoo, you have to compile *everything* from source, but its all
packaged and dependancies are automatically handles (98% of the time).

Yes, the BSD executables are uncompressed. The Linux executables come
compressed or uncompressed.
