<p dir="ltr">Look at Fedora or CentOS and play with Ovirt and FreeIPA. Those two projects have a GUI yet the CLI behind the scenes is massively powerful. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Fedora 21 has a server version and CentOS 7 has a desktop version.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Then there's the docker minimalist version of each that's all CLI.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If you have the hardware for virtualization, load Ovirt as a standalone on CentOS 7 and load up a zillion VMs to test/play with. Then you can test every distro!</p>

<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I've been using various flavors of Ubuntu for about 5 years, and I'm ready to try something new. I'm fairly comfortable with the command line. I'm curious what distributions people on this list use, and how they rate in difficulty compared to Ubuntu. I'd
also prefer to use something a lot of other people use so I have more people I can run to for help. :)</p>

</p>
<p>Thanks, and nice to meet you,</p>
<p><br>
