Although there are many users on the SL list who are not computer
science (informatics) professionals, there also are a significant number
who are. Much of the serious commentary is from professional users, not
the typical banter one finds from enthusiasts attempting to get ubuntu
installed to use an office suite application; and much of it is from the
professionals who develop either SL (currently from the Red Hat
subsidiary CentOS source) or who are familiar with the various
application/environment/driver porting repositories for EL (such as
EPEL). I have not found the equivalent to the SL list for Mate, nor
have I found such for the majority of end user enthusiast
distributions. This is what I mean by a "professional" list (similar
lists exist for many environments and applications -- I can provide a
set of these from my own experience, but the set by no means is meant to
be exclusionary or complete).

Yasha
