I started with CentOS and have stayed with CentOS. CentOS is a clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The only difference is, Red Hat costs money and CentOS is free. Fedora is sorta the futuristic Red Hat and is maintained by Red Hat. It also is free. I'd recommend trying one of those. Good luck!

What you said may be completely true for the church-owned computers, but what about the 13M members? Many members have already realized the benefits of using linux. Just give us some software to use so we don't have to ever switch over to Windows or Mac again. :)

Well there's Chrome OS. I'm pretty sure that was designed to be a lightweight OS, primarily for browsing and online work. I completely agree with you. The church teaches provident living. What could be a more provident way to live than to save hundreds of dollars on software on each computer? Many people were talking about building a Mormon Linux distro but apparently those ideas never came to fruition. I don't think we need a Mormon distro, I think we need a Mormon repo. The church needs to make it's Linux compatible software easily available...and needs to make more of it. I just wish I knew more about Linux and programming so I could help. I've been using/learning it since July 2011. I've learned a lot but there is still so much to learn.

For the software to be hosted. And then I'll TRY to build the repository. :)

Sure! Just give me the source code!

Why doesn't the church (or perhaps a 3rd party) create a church software repository for linux? How handy would that be to have all the church software a yum install away???
