However, in order to build a server one must pick a distribution. "CentOS!" says one, "NO, NO, NO! Ubuntu LTS!" says another, "AHHHH! Debian!" and the list goes on.  So, in that spirit, this month we will be doing some lightening presentations from members who feel they have a strong argument for a particular distribution.  This is an opportunity to share your love / hate for various Linux flavors.  If you're new to Linux, this is your chance to explore all that the distros have to offer and to get valuable input from the users who admire them most.  The format will be 5 minute presentations on your distro of choice.  Tell us everything you love about it, tell us what it's really good at, tell us what could be better.

If you'd like to present, please bring a system running the distribution you wish to show off.  Please RSVP at the meetup site and list in the comments what you're bringing so we can try to keep this somewhat organized and get a good mix of distributions.  I'd like to limit this to about 6 presentations (30 minutes) so we have some additional time to discuss, Q&A, test drive, etc.
