What's your favorite flavor?

[IamDavid]

Mine has got to be Ubuntu.. Tried 3 or 4 others, none seemed as desktop ready to me..



Some of these I have never heard of...

You seem to have a weird understanding of 'linux flavour' but what the heck...

 

[GhettoFob]

I currently run Ubuntu. I used to run Gentoo and liked it a lot also.

I know, I mostly just copied from another website... I know they are *nix flavors.. Oh Well. lol

 

[Megatomic]

Kubuntu here, but I'm going to try Suse 10.1 soon.

 

[Bowsky]

I used Ubuntu but am currently using SuSE 10.1. Although I do like the feel of Ubuntu better, it is much easier to setup Xgl and Compiz in SuSE 10.1.

Linux

I have been using Ubuntu for about 3 weeks. My first experience with linux.
I have been curious about what other distros have to offer.
Bowsky and Megatomic, do you think Suse would be better or easier for a linux noob? I pretty much just use my computer for web, email, music, videos, pictures, word processing, etc.

 

[R3MF]

Using SUSE 10.1 right now. 8)

 

[SleepWalkerX]

My favorite flavor is Suse.

 

[DerwenArtos12]

arch

 

[n0cmonkey]

My favorite linux flavor is Slackware, but I prefer OpenBSD over all.

I planning to update to FC5 on AMD rig.
I have Ubuntu on a old PII.

I've been using Xandros for almost a year and it's great. It would be great if you could create some sort of multi-level boot system so you could run 10+ different versions of Linux on one box...

 

[ForumMaster]

i like fedora.

 

[darkdemyze]

fedora for me as well

I thought you could do that already? Back in the day I had Mandrake, BeOS, Windows2K and 98SE all on one. Could be wrong but I think it's possable..

You definitely can. You just need a lot of hard drive space. There was a page I saw years and years ago by a guy who had something like 30 operating systems on his computer.

I beleive his name, username, was SUOrangeman.. I think he's still around. Taught me allot about multibooting many years ago...

 

[nweaver]

perhaps a single /boot with the different kernels, and a shared /home and /etc (that might not work)

 

[ProviaFan]

I used to use Debian, then went to Gentoo because I felt the urge to live on the bleeding edge. After not touching Linux for a long time, I came back recently and tried arch, which was a tremendous mistake given that the documentation is horrible - not good for someone who's forgotten most of what little they knew about Linux. At the moment I'm using OpenSUSE 10.1 with Xgl (very easy to set up, as stated already), and will probably continue in that fashion for the near future.

"perhaps a single /boot with the different kernels, and a shared /home and /etc (that might not work)"

That would be neat..

 

[PorscheMaD911]

I've pretty much tried them all and settled on Debian.

 

[Looney]

Kubuntu.
