#378792

What about just the standard Ubuntu??

#378795

I vote other! (Ubuntu)

#378870

i voted for suse, what happened with red hat?

#378874

I guese redhat would be Other, since there isn't much *OTHER*

And if you're going for ubuntu, select kubuntu.

----------------------------------------------------------

Holy crap! I just noticed, I had a 110 views in like 8-9 hours.

Red hat is now an enterprise only Linux. the desktop version is now called Fedora Core (wich you can view here: http://fedora.redhat.com/) they just hit version 5, nice little linux :P

oh and there is a lot of others, as you can see here: http://distrowatch.com

and heh, my favorite goes to Arch Linux. :)

a little edit: oh and while I'm at it, there is no "best" linux distribution. it's like saying Chocolate Ice cream is the best ice cream. come on, it's just a question of taste ;)

#379031

lol, ok

thanks

#380211

IMHO Ubuntu is great if you have unlimitted traffic and fast internet channel. If traffic counts or connection is slow, then, I suppose, Gentoo is the right way.

/* Voted 'Other' for Ubuntu */

#380237

My vote goes for Slackware!

Though, I've been meaning to try out debian and gentoo.

#380731

I prefer Gentoo, and Ubuntu when I need a quick install or livecd with gui.

Not very good choices for this poll. You missed a lot of hard hitters when it comes to linux distros.

#380788

I prefer Fedora Core :)

#380822

Other: Knoppix , the live cd (U can install it as well)

#380828

linux scares me... :( too much freedom can be a bad thing.... but i go with ubuntu, it feels more user friendly.

#380831

too much freedom can be a bad thing when you aren't used to be free ;)

Knoppix = Debian ^_^

#381091

Debian for the desktop, Ubuntu for the laptop

Having huge freedom of choice is only a bad thing if you aren't willing to devote your time for coming to a well thought out decision. Once you have accumulated mediocre experience, the overwhelming choice gets manageable.

Windows and Apple: "There is strawberry jam for breakfast only." - "OK. I can live with that."

Linux: "Here's an incomplete list of 272 breakfast addons that I know of." - "Nah. Too much choice."

#381197

other - ubuntu

#381292

other - iPodLinux! lol for desktop/laptop, Knoppix

#381377

other - gentoo & yoper even though my pc is dual boot with fedora.

#381665

hey this thread is really strange, no purpose

just my opinion

#381666

yep, it has no real purpose, except maybe helping Ghostboy decides what he wants do get..but still, a poll for that...anyway.

#381746

other - iPodLinux! lol for desktop/laptop, Knoppix

Was that?

Heh, for a so called pointless thread, people like a say in what theyu think. This threead is a little "frizzie" whith not enough selections, but heh, it'n not just clicking the dot with your choice, discuss it!

#383351

Kororaa all the way....i think its great....though i am a total beginner with linux

#383409

Ubuntu.....

#383991

I'm new to Linux, and I installed Ubuntu on an older laptop (circa 2002). Runs and dual boots great with XP, but I haven't figured out how to install codecs, or drivers for DVD and a/v playback.

#384505

Here you go.

http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=64629 ... they are making linux rather easy to use.

For future reference, if you use Ubuntu, use ubuntuforums. I have never seen such excellent support from any product, let alone Freeware.
