I chose Madrake because I think that is is the most user-friendly OS.

I recently (two days ago) formatted my old server running windows 98, upgraded the ram (from 128mb to 384mb), and installed Fedora Core 5. So far I would have to say that I enjoy it very much. It was simple to set up and I had a teamspeak server, psyBNC, garnax, and a few other programs up and running very quickly. I debated on whether to install freeBSD, Ubuntu server, or Fedora Core 5 and I chose Fedora Core 5 because I do not know that much about linux/unix. The way that I decided between FC5 and Ubuntu was by flipping a coin.

took me some time to test the distros, to see whats-what

my suggestion/opinion is :

Debian - for servers and/or more professinal aspects
Ubuntu - for Desktops and user-friendly purposes

p.s. new ubuntu has a very user-friendly concept -- install from a live cd Smile

i've only used lunar, gentoo, slack, debian.

debian was ok, too bulky.

i like slack.

It defenately has to be ubuntu. I tried mandrake like aaaages ago and didnt like it.

It has a great feel to it and its easy to use. I really like using apt-get to get all my software Very Happy

I also really like the community. Its been very easy for me to use irc and their forums to get any help i need aswell as helping other people too.

Gentoo is not too bad, used it for a while. FreeBsd is my choice. stable secure and reliable

hav used redhat (fedora) & suse so far./...
ubuntu maybe the latest craze... but im loyal to fedora...

definately Fedora Smile

very easy to use, i think its the best one for beginners, very stable
P.S. Mandrake has the killer looks but i think it cant match with Fedora Smile

Gentoo's my favourite, what I'm using on this laptop. Ubuntu rocks too so I voted for it cause Gentoo was missing Evil or Very Mad

I run Ubuntu, and I love it. It's my first 'real' Linux experience (I had played around with Mandrake back in the day, but that doesn't count) and I'm surprised at how easily I picked it up. The support community is great, too.

Ubuntu is pretty decent.... if they just didn't strip the dev packs to the bone.... Sad

even make isn't included Rolling Eyes

I have voted for Ubuntu, it's one of the simpliest ones and it's a pleasure to use it. A great user-frienly GUI, an apt-get command for installing the software, great hardware recognition...

i chose fedora because you're missing freebsd
