What Linux Distro do YOU use?

What Linux Distro do YOU use?

Simple question: What Linux distro do you use

What I use :

• Edubuntu (thin client Server installation) 6.06 LTS & 7.04
• openSuse 10.2
• Damn Small Linux (but will be trying TinyMe, based on PCLinuxOS, when it comes in )

What I have used :

• Red Hat 8 & 9.0
• Gentoo
• Ubuntu 4.1 & 5.04
• CentOS (Red Hat Enterprise Linux clone) 4.3
• openSuse 10.2
• Damn Small Linux (ver???)
• (soon) TinyMe (tba)

You might try Mandriva One 2008.0 or PCLinuxOS, they're both pretty good with hardware ...

Debian 4

My only issue is no wireless support for my atheros ar5005g wifi card. The funny thing is that it worked in Kubuntu 6.10 and 7.04 but no longer works
("Unable to attach Hardware" error). Ndiswrapper didn't seem to resolve my problem but still like linux anyway.

Is it anything similar?
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-wireless-networking-41/small-network-problem-with-atheros-ar5005g-and-madwifi-driver.-591399/

Because that card should work on Debian.

Using:
Kubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10
Have Tried:
Fedora Core 6
Linux Mint Cassandra
OpenSuSE 10.2
PCLOS 2007

Ones Ive used: Redhat, Mandrake, Lindows, Lycoris, Slackware, Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Gentoo, Suse, Opensuse.

Gentoo is probably the coolest and really is something especially when you compile everything. Latest opensuse impressed me. It was quite polished. Really easy to get the novell client installed and working. Perfect for work.

Slackware is really cool to use. Really shows you the early days of linux.

I had fun with Gentoo, and it is a great way to get over any CLI fears! My biggest problem, though, is that I am on dial-up and was running Gentoo on a 500Mhz P3 system so compiling easily became a long ordeal. (Just try KDE and you see what I mean

On the plus side, I often did

# emerge --download XYZ (it's been a while so I'm not sure of the download-only flag)
# killall pppd

When the emerge was complete, it would disconnect and wait for me to come around. So I would let it run through the night and check on it the next morning.

I use Mepis 7, still beta or better RC now.
It's back to Debian as base, definitly the right way.

On my thinkpad a20 which was a p3 500, i compiled everything including xfree86, kde and gnome. It took about 2-3 days to finish. hehe. But man it was very responsive. I always compile my own kernel and most apps with whichever distro i use..but since gentoo compiles everything..you really do see a huge improvement in responsiveness.

just tried gos in vmware...its not a bad distro..very basic and easy to use, might end up putting it on a few older pcs at work to use as a basic workstation for people to basically just browse the net.

latest Ubuntu.

Should be getting Ubuntu (7.10) in the mail...

Tried most of the distros out there, but for the past 4 years gentoo is my OS.

I currently have a Debian Etch partition and a Debian Testing partition. I have used: various 'buntus, PLCOS 2007, Mint, Knoppix, various recent versions of MEPIS 7.0 betas/RC. I tend to change often but I can see me sticking with Debian for a while.

Dual boot PCLinuxOS and Windows XP using ntldr/boot.ini, LILO on the single / Linux partition, on the slave, w/2GB swap file.
Technically a triple boot I guess, as Microsoft recovery console is installed, along with XP, on the master as well. Use Knoppix cd from time to time, as well as Puppy. PCLOS was easiest for me to install w/o changing Windows bootloader, wireless connection set up wasn't a problem, nor was getting PCLOS to use ATI graphics card instead of Intel onboard graphics. Which ever is easiest to install and configure on the systems particular hardware is my favorite.

I use Sidux

Have Tried:
Fedora (5-6-7)
Opensuse 10.2
Ubuntu
Zenwalk
PCLos

currently using - centos 5

I did CentOS 4.3 before. Is 5 a big improvement (worth getting) or just an incremental improvement and not much else?

I honestly can't say because I've never used CentOS before and CentOS 5 is my very first time of using CentOS.
Maybe this link my help a bit ---> http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS8606127166.html

openSUSE, PC-BSD and FreeBSD

I have download linux.
saya ingin mendowload linux bagaimana caranya?
please...?

Mandriva 2006
Ubuntu 6.10
Xubuntu 6.10
Ubuntu 7.04
Debian Etch (when it was'testing')
Arch Linux (2 versions)
And now i'm using Ubuntu 7.10 (stripped, basic software, no bootscreen etc)

And if KDE4 will be released i think i will use Suse (the free ofcourse)

I use openSuse 10.3,Ubuntu(gutsy) on my computer... and Sabayon:love: on my laptop..

I hav used in the past:
Knoppix,Damn small linux,Mandriva,Gentoo and DreamLinux

The best linux distro is Sabayon in my opinion..

I use OpenSuse 10.3
It's a very frendly distrib.

I can't wait to get the rest of the family's computers finished so I can fool around with 10.3.

Ich benutze sidux
I use sidux http://www.sidux.com

4 boxes running DamnSmallLinux; 3 running latest Hardy Heron with one dual booting windows for those bad days; all hooked up to one KVM to BOINC 24 x7.

8-port KVM? Cool.. I could use one.
I've got 1 KMD switch and it isn't enough for me right now.

Ending a long run with RedHat/Fedora (2002 to 2007), i moved the home computers to Ubuntu this year. The change was motivated after extensive use of Goobuntu (Ubuntu 6.06) at work.

Have been using Linux exclusively since 2002. Total Linux awareness goes back to Slackware 3 (1995).

Cheers.

I made the jump from Windows XP to Xubuntu 7.04 a few months ago. Just updated to 7.10 not long ago. So far I love it, although there are some disappointments in software due to the Windows/Mac OS bias.

Since the topic was originally about LINUX,

I currently use Arch Linux on multiple computers.

I'm currently using openSUSE 10.3 which is a nice distro, it looks awesome and work fine (though I have had some problems here and there)

I have tried ubuntu 6.06 LTS

I'm looking forward to try ubuntu and edubuntu 7.10 as well as PCLOS 2007

I'm waiting for openSUSE 11.0 and ubuntu 8.04 LTS

I'm using Edubuntu 7.10 right now and it is pretty good (not without it's issues, but it's forcing me to learn about LTSP!) The 6.06LTS is still one of the better cleaned up versions and the one I usually find myself falling back on if all else failes.

Ubuntu 7.10, OpenSuse 10.3, Yoper, and Knoppix, but my favorite is Ubuntu, because it has Automatix.

Brandon! Haven't seen you around here in forever.

Linux Mint XFCE Community Edition.


















(sudo apt-get remove automatix)

Woo Hoo.. finally got past a major hurdle in my Edubuntu 7.10 LTSP set up.
First the issue was I couldn't PXE boot from my clients. Fixed that.
Then it couldn't display the graphical screen. Just fixed that too!
For details you can read my blog entry on it.

Zencafe, based on Zenwalk GNU/Linux.

I've used: DSL embeded zip.

PCLinuxOS 2008 MiniMe :-)
And before that, PCLinuxOS 2007
And yet before, PCLinuxOS 0.93...

Also testing Mandriva 2008.1 Alpha, looks promising...

I use Vector Linux and Mandriva. But I change around.

Currently I use:

-Sabayon 3.5 loop 1 for desktop use
-Gentoo 2007.0 for server use
-BackTrack 3 USB for "other" business

Basically I've tried most distros out there, but none were more appealing to me that the ones I stated.

I've got:

FreeBSD
ArchLinux
and Ubuntu currently installed. (Gutsy)

I was surprised, and impressed.

I have an old Dell Latitude CP laptop (Pentium I w/MMX @233Mhz and 128MB Ram) which I have been fooling round with DSL and Fluxbuntu when I ran across an old SuSE 9.1 installation CD and figured I'd give it a go.

I was impressed because not only did it run (unlike CentOS 4.3 and openSuse 10.2), it installed (after a looooong time .. the timer said 2 hours but it felt about as long as Fluxbuntu took!) and wasn't half-bad! Yes it was a little slow, but it is also running KDE 3.2, which isn't the lightest desktop environment (but probably isn't as heavy as the 3.5s or 4)!

Happily somebody in the openSuse forums pointed me to a repository which has RPMs for 9.1 so I'll give those a go at least for installing anything not available in the intial CD.

I look forward, though, to re-installing it again so I can go through and try and trim it down as much as possible and see if I can't get it to run a little more efficiently.

Other than that, I am still running Edubuntu 7.10 as a thin client server and just installed openSuse 10.2 on a system I am setting up to be my server (DNS, Web, File, Print, Proxy and FTP). This all will be integrating with my lone Windows XP system.

Actually, KDE itself has gotten somewhat lighter as it went along. The last version of KDE 2.x was probably the worst. Of course you tended to get more stuff running in the background ...

ive tried ubuntu(gutsy and feisty), pc linux OS 2007, fedora 7 and im now happy to say fedora 8 is the best thing since sliced bread

PCLinuxOS

Mandriva 2006
Ubuntu 6.10
Xubuntu 6.10
Ubuntu 7.04
Debian Etch (when it was'testing')
Arch Linux (2 versions)
Ubuntu 7.10 (stripped, basic software, no bootscreen etc)
Kubuntu 7.10 with a testing KDE4-desktop (installed for a day or 3)
OpenSuse 10.3 with KDE4 (also for just a day or 3)

Now i'm running Arch Linux again, the best distro you can get (if you like to configure your system to your own wishes, so standard no xorg)

I use linux ubuntu 7.10 with gnome
I from russia!
But in the last year is used linux mandriva 2007 with KDE 3.5
And for my sister i setup winXP and Vista.
Sorry for my english

xubuntu 7.10 all the way!

Have used:
-Fedora Core 6
-Red Hat Linux (5.xx ...forgot the exact version )

Going to try:
-FreeBSD 6.2

Isn't FreeBSD 6.3 out already, and 7.0 due any time?

I use Fedora. Right now I need to get a new hard drive in this machine, and install Fedora 8 on it...

Linux Mint Daryna.

PcLos MiniMe 2008 is just working happily on my Acer Ferrari 4000
my Broadcom wireless and Ati X700 works great
having had a load of troubles with (Ubuntu,OpenSuSe and Mandriva) all versions off the last 3 years
tried Sabayon but is too bloated

MiniMe is the way to be
