I use arch, what's your favorite?
Right now i'm running debian on my servers. It's nice that theres so much support for it since it's very similar to ubuntu.
i used arch too... its a good distro, but its a bit unstable at times. i use ubuntu now :D yeah i know its lame but what can i say... i am too lazy!

Slackware was my first distro and it hasn't changed much since. This was 2000.
Come on people we need to get into the 21th century! Use Debian GNU/Linux for fun and profit.
Preferably unstable.

windows vista :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
always i use ubuntu
Actually I am very impressed by a variant of Ubuntu at the moment called LinuxMint Elyssa, it is based on hardy but has alot of improvements to the interface which make it simpler to use and extra artwork which makes the interface look alot more slick.
For servers CentOS is a very good choice, it is based on Fedora core but once again has alot of improvements.
I've heard many good things about Mint, I might check it out soon.Quote:

I've used Fedora and Ubuntu. Suck at Linux though. I'm gonna try to make a virtual machine with OpenSUSE installed on it. I've heard it should be quite good.
When I first got into linux ubuntu seemed to have the biggest community, so thats the distro I went for, and I've stuck with it.
I use ubuntu desktop at home, and ubuntu server on my seedbox. I also tried debian on the seedbox but there was basically no difference, so I went back to ubuntu, which I know and love. :)
Ubuntu and Mandriva
kubuntu
If I had to choose between any distro certainly choose Debian, and in case you do not know Linux by Ubuntu.

I was using PCLOS. But life happened. So was using families/friends xp for 6 months. Just got a killer deal on a lappy. Within a couple months will be dual booting again with Linux. Probably PCLOS. The PCLOS forum is excellent for Nix n00bs. Which I am again.
I have been mostly using Fedora. But recently I've set up a Debian server and I think I'll be switching from MythDora to MythBuntu. I'll probably then also switch my main distro to kubuntu to have everything in the debian/ubuntu family.
ubuntu
Xandros
Gentoo. Once you configure it, you can't really get anything faster and more customizable than that.
ubuntu and gentoo
Fedora 8 is the one currently installed on my seedbox :)
mandriva powerpack 2009 currently!!!
with kde of course!! (xfce is evolving very nice.. i already like it more than gnome!!!)
Ubuntu.
I have tried many others but I always seem to come back to Ubuntu. I like the fact that is has a large community and it's easy to get help. I am also very fond of apt-get. The first distro I ever tried was Slackware in 2005. Needless to say it was a hard first lesson.
On my EeePC 701 I run Ubuntu 8.10 minimal encrypted install with Xfce. On my desktop computer I still run Ubuntu 8.04 default install with gnome. (The reason I haven't upgraded yet was because I couldn't get my sixaxis to work with the new bluetooth drivers).
linux Mint
I use gentoo as Im new with linux :)
Yeah man MINT owns :DQuote:

Vector Linux which is based on Slackware, but it is an amazing distro that is built on speed and stability. In my opinion Ubuntu had a bloated feeling to it especially compared to this distro.
Too many but I keep coming back to Ubuntu/Mint (Which is based on Ubuntu).
OpenSUSE for my Desktop PCs
and Gentoo for my Servers.
Ubuntu and
SuperUbuntu : http://hacktolive.org/wiki/Super_Ubuntu#Download
I will move to FreeBSD,soon ,if i can fix some shit...I test it on an old pc
So far, openSUSE all the way.
Ubuntu~ it's trend
Ubuntu was built off of debian. Which im currently using. I'd like to use linux mint in the future.Quote:

I have used Arch, OpenSuse, Dreamlinux, all favors of Ubuntu, and OSX Tiger if you count it as Unix. In Arch you have more control, if you remember how to use command line programing. Dream and OpenSuse are pretty to look at. Ubuntu is the popular one. Thanks to Vista, or as I like to call it "Win Me the sequel" more people are moving to Linux.
