i'm curious if u have your own best linux distro... as we all are workin on that kinda os's... i think you must have that favourite one ;}

Hmm... From this list I choose Slackware, but you didn't put the other great distributions on that list of yours. SuSE is a great distibution, comes with tones of software.

thanks for the notice;my bad... yeah SuSE is good distro.. but for me Slackware works with less computer sources(CPU,RAM... etc.) than other distros...

I'm torrenting about 10 different distros at the moment, and will report back with my findings Razz

I allways want to use linux, but I never really get round to it :/

I prefer Mandriva, just because of the sleek interface.
Plus.
I know tonnes of mods for it.

It's all about the ubuntu for me. Super easy install, nice clean GUI, very user friendly. I installed it on a few of my boxes and it works great. Very Happy

i voted slack

well you are missing some...

SUSE OSS i used this and really like it i never install linux with a GUI so it was pretty good

fedora has been shocking

CentOS is also good

Gentoo is a ass of a think to get going but once you do it is all sweet

Personally, I prefer Debian. I know a lot of people consider it to be a disgusting operating system, but I love it. I am rather lazy, so I dont want to spend the time fumbling with compiling or other junk when i can be spending that time using the applications i need, so APT has become a best friend in that sense.

I'm lookin for a member of the forum who has experienced lots of Gentoo instalations and optimizations.I'll try to get it work on my half-dead machine.Btw where does Fedora go ? Is it a good distro? I havent heard anything of it.

by **deags** on Sat May 06, 2006 12:40 pm

fedora isnt the bext i'd go for suse before fedora

i have not had enough experience with gentoo to help you.

by **mankeke** on Thu May 11, 2006 1:47 am

i think all distros are good, but in my opinion gentoo is the best, because you can earn yie ld and it's really necesary for me

Long live SCO Linux!

Hahaha, be calm! It's a joke!

My favourite distro is Debian: with only a CD you can install the system and the last software versions (via HTTP/FTP)! Moreover i use APT, and most of the .deb packages are built for Debian.

Gentoo is also a good alternative if you have a 64-bit processor.

I like Fedora too, because it's easy to configure and set up and it's a good and stable system.

I used red hat some time ago.. But Im using fedora now..

I liked fedora because as many good guys have said, it's easy to configure, although most distros are easy to configure...

In my experience, I already installed red hat and fedora.. I still haven't experienced debian..

Many people said debian is the best, I think I'll give it a try next time... what do you guys think..

I dual boot my computer.. Linux and the Xp
