Poll: Which Linux do you use.

I'm planning on making Linux my primary desktop OS.

For programming, for ICQing and webbing.

And also hopefully the occasional round of starcraft 😉


I'm not really asking for suggestions on which to use, more I'm curious what other people are using.

If I forget to any in the poll please mention them.
 
Caldera OpenLinux for servers other people must manage because its management tools are great
Debian for servers cause it is well maintained and well put together
Suse for development boxes
Slackware for anything I care about because it allows the most customization for people who know what they are doing.
 
I've got Mandrake & Debian on two seperate systems..........they're Dual Booted though with XP & 2K and to be honest, I hardly ever go into Linux anymore!🙁 Don't know why......they're both up and fine when loaded.......I used them a lot for a while just got tired of messing with them I guess. Think I'll boot into Mandrake now.........back in a minute!😉
 
I'm gonna install Suse Linux on my system soon. I'm sick of the blue screen of death but I have to keep Win98 SE around to play games.
 
Was using Slackware before I started using Redhat. Now I'm using RH 7.1, found it works on a lot of the newer hardwares currently out.
 
OpenBSD, FreeBSD, slack 7.0 (a while back), RedHat 7.1 (at work), Mandrake 7.0 (a while ago). OpenBSD and FreeBSD are not linux. They are better 😉
 
Slackware for all my stuff. It's the must customizable Linux you could ever hope for (which means though that it comes pretty plain at first. You have to work with it to get it nice). And 8.0 just came out to boot (just 2 days ago) so all the packagess are extremely up to date.
 
I bought Suse about 1 year ago. Right out of the box there was a notice saying that due to some issues it wouldn't load properly. I took it back for Mandrake. It was good, but now I use Red Hat 7.
 
SuSe Linux. I've tried many distros (Mandrake, RedHat and some smaller ones) but SuSe is still the best for me. Its configuration tool (YAST1) is much better than any config tool other distros use.
 
I really like slakware, it lets you have the control over the operating system.Its a bit more complicated to work with but worth it
 
I use Mandrake 7.2 on my Linux box at home and RH 6.2 at work. Mandrake is very easy to use and a very "complete" distro. I mostly use the command line @ work, so eye-candy GUI stuff isn't necessary.

<< When using Linux, do you recieve Service pack updates like NT class OSes? >>



Huh? Why would we need NT service packs? When updating Operating systems I just download the diff file of the new source to the old source, patch -p0 < /path/to/diff let that run then recompile and install. It cant be much tougher in linux either 🙂
 


<< I use Solaris 8, FreeBsd 4.3 (not linux, but linux compatible 🙂) and debian (2.2 kernel) 🙂 >>



I wish I could find the quote... It was a quote of a higher up at Sun (I think) saying that thier version of linux is Solaris.
