gentoo, debian, ubuntu and 10 years ago i used suse *g*
conclusion:
gentoo is not worth the hassle for a home system (too much compiling).
debian is pretty good, but it's a bit "outdated" even after a initial release, so you have always to be on debian testing, which is not bad.
and ubuntu, is like a up2date debian in someways, but has also it's very own problems too ;)
Ubuntu is only good if you want a starter kit of a Debian-based distro. I would recommend openSuse to all beginners.Quote:

I'm using Gentoo for personal use since 8 years ago and in the begining was Slackware, Corel Linux, Red Hat, Suse and Debian (I never learned to use Debian :wacko:). And also I'm using Gentoo in a server. :)
UBUNTU 8.10LTS the best.
Opensuse and Ubuntu here.
Now using the lastest version of Debian!
Linuxmint Gloria, (haven't updated to the latest Helena release yet) an excellent and stable distro based on Ubuntu.
I'm running Debian Lenny on 2 Desktops and on my server/router/firewall. I've been using Debian exclusively for the past 6 or 7 years or so. Before that I tried several different distros, including Red Hat, Slackware, and my first.... Mandrake.
I use Ubuntu 9.10
had it some months in my laptop, but there are som settings wich must be wrong, because some pages look strange...
/MrT
Ubuntu 9.10
i using ubuntu
Ubuntu
Linuxmint Helena (V.8) :D
Mint 8 KDE. Fuck yeah Oxygen! :w00t:
Debian Squeeze on my server :)
i am using ubuntu 9.10
Ubuntu on the desktop and netbook. Debian on the server.
I use archlinux , i just love pacman :)
Arch Linux <3
kubuntu 9.10 :)
I used to use opensuse and i liked it, but that was many yrs ago 9.3.
mint ,ubuntu are all at the base debian OS's but with different window dressing.
The one i'm trying to get working and have sort of succeeded is kubuntu(kde ubuntu) and its running on a 8 GB usb stick running in persistant mode so i can keep all my setting between reboots.
For the guys/girls above who want an ultimate hackware distro of linux, lookup backtrack http://www.backtrack-linux.org/
This has saved me a few times, It can help with your network help you hack the passwords of windows even get wifi passwords on the fly, No i'm not going to show you before you ask as the site will do that for you, Its purely there to help you recover your broken windows and network with tons of other helpfull programs bulit in as well, but remember its linux so its not going to be easy to do anything unless you spend a lot of time and effort.
Enjoy
Usually Ubuntu, but I have been dabbling in Mint...which is basically the same thing.
I'm old enough to remember Slackware too - I seem to recall downloading the disks (yes, disks) for installing it back in the 90s...Quote:

Ubuntu and Linux Mint, these r best
Tempted to dab into this distro. Have heard nothing but great things about it :huh:.Quote:

kubuntu 9.10
Archlinux
ubuntu 9.10, but i dont use it very often.
Ubuntu 10.04 is nice!
I use Red Hat and Cent OS. The problem is I spend so much time in the command line that I don't know where anything is in the GUI!
I'd like to play around with backtrack but with today's laptops, there is no way I'm easily going to get a wifi card with packet injection capabilities. I'd have to research into a good usb wifi adapter that's supported.
i got ubuntu :~)
Linux Mint
this, with xfce.Quote:

Nice, light, stable and fast, just the way I like it! ;)
Ubuntu/Gnome, OpenSuse/KDE in a couple of laptops and Debian for a server. Very happy with all of them, each has it's pros and cons. But there is a great support for Ubuntu and Debian. Recently upgraded to OpenSuse 11.3, which the KDE 4 requires lots of resources I think, still trying things up.
Dual Boot Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with windows.
Ubuntu 8.04, didn't really bother with updating lol
