The Linux Distro Poll

New and improved (not really), it's the "what is your primary distro" poll.

 

I used to use a LFS install but got sick of Linux and deleted it.
Im using Ubuntu quite a bit lately. The only thing is my graphics card doesnt work properly. I cant even play DVDs.
I think I might try another LFS soon now ive played with some of the software in Ubuntu. I didnt really know what was out there until I got Ubuntu. (free through the post It was like christmas )

 

Main computer = Kubuntu 6.06.1 LTS
Second computer = SUSE 10.0 + Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS
Laptop = Xubuntu 6.10

You forgot to add Debian! Don't worry, i've added it (and some others) for you

Check out the 'Getting the most from ubuntu' sticky. Go the links section and you will find info on getting your gfx card and DVDs to work

 

Sweet. I'm sure there's plenty I've forgotten.

 

I'm hooked on Ubuntu at the moment - a cracking, slick distro. I also use Mandriva.

 

For linux I like slackware and it's derivatives. Vector linux is a great one and so is zenwalk. Since I am currently off linux for now, I voted for *BSD.

BTW, vector linux will be releasing 5.8 very soon. Its a slick, XFCE slackware based distro that is VERY fast. I used vector for about 6 months and I liked it but ultimately I didn't care for slackware package management and gslapt. Zenwalk 3.0 (also XFCE based) has good reviews also. Both are recommended if your skill level is basic to intermediate. By basic I mean above complete n00b.

 

Debian for me, I've grown to love the package manager despite my initial dislike of it. Although I use Kubuntu on my laptop, I have a Debian server and a powerful desktop as well (my computer specs).

 

using kubuntu (dapper) mostly, but sabayon looks good

 

I'm using Kubuntu Dapper - it's freakin' awesome, especially with XGL and Beryl

 

I tried sabayon a week ago and it was awesome! I think of it more as a toy but it's loads of fun. Since I don't have access to xorg 7.x, I will be trying out 3D-desktop (been around for a few years) when I have some free time.

 

CentOS, represent.

 

Debian with KDE and a small helping from Gnome (Synaptic and a few others...)
However, so far, from all the distros I have checked, next after Debian will be Mandriva.

 

• Primary desktop - Debian "Etch", without a trace of Gnome installed.
• Wife's desktop - Mandrake 10.1 ...she's had the same install for years.
• Primary Server - CentOS 4.4
• Web Server - CentOS 4.4
• Firewall - IPCop 1.4.11

 

• Primary computer: Debian Etch
• Laptop: Dual boot - Windows xp and Mandriva 2007
• Test computer 1: Windows 2000 Pro
• Test computer 2: FreeBSD 6.0 (Test server)
• Test computer 3: FreeBSD 6.0 (Test client to test computer 2)

Yeah, that's how I roll.
Post script: I am currently downloading CentOS 4.4 to install on "test computer 1."
