This would be a reason to explain a (small)
legacy user base.  In this case, this appeared
to be a new user, so that wouldn't count.

Ok, this is the same as above - we are talking

Most individuals believe that? If they do, it's
very very very rarely mentioned here. The usual
pointers are to the sixpack. Although I guess
it depends on definition - "good" in comparison
to the alternative (sixpack) available, or good
in its own right, being a freely available VM
distribution?  I wouldn't argue with the latter.
