A Fairly Accurate Linux Distro Chooser
Sorry, then, for the delay in replying. The problem with translators is that they stillNow I'm interested to know what it means.. Using Babelfish translator it says Fedora in Portuguese is "Fedora" in English.
don't deal well with permutations (good for me, since I'm a language professor).
Feder, Fedor= stink, smell bad.
So "Fedora" suggests the feminine form (in romance languages, an -a suffix is feminine)
of "Fedor."* Many Brazilians call the distro "Fedorento" as a result. Yes, that's right,
the distro is called stinky
*PS using the feminine form is appropriate, since distro/distribution is feminine in
Portuguese.

BTW. try this one:
http://polishlinux.org/choose/quiz/
I think it is the best distro chooser atm
My results:
1. Debian GNU/Linux
2. Gentoo Linux
3. PLD Linux
4. Slackware Linux
5. Ubuntu Linux

I would not call it [http://polishlinux.org/choose/quiz/] the best:
It does not ask enough questions to give a clear answer, though the direction is fairly close.
I took that one a while back: I got Gentoo, FreeBSD, PLD Linux, OpenBSD, and Slackware - no Debian. Still: quite interesting - I must try FreeBSD and Gentoo someday, and find out about PLD; I did not quite like OpenBSD, but Slackware was quite nice.
