Because:

Ubuntu Rescue Remix Version 9.10 will fix some of the problems in the stock
Ubuntu 9.10 version

SLAMPP 2.0.2 is released will fix the new bugs that Ubuntu Rescue Remix
Version 9.10 introduces but will introduce some of it's own bugs.

and so forth.....

It really is.

Even though rampant diversification is the only realistic outcome of
GPL/open source, hundreds of bogus distros hasn't helped Linux one bit...
well maybe it helped 0.96%...

Because if you try each of them, you are never actually running any
given Linux distribution long enough to run into any problems. Haven't
you noticed that there is a large overlap between the "it works
perfectly for me" crowd and the "try every new release of every distro"
crowd?

Nice logic, Timmy.

Maybe because they're experienced?

What I notice is the almost 100% overlap between the "Windows is better"
crowd and the "dishonest idiot" crowd.

See Marti and Telnet Terry Porter for examples.
At least Marti remembers what distribution he currently has installed.

Terry Porter seems to get mixed up between his distro of the day for some
reason.
Wonder why that might be?
