Updated: Which Linux distro are you currently using?

[Nothinman]

Apple's put the fact it's "unix based" into half the marketing out there. They know, as much as any of us know what *nix is anyhow.

"They keep using that word but I don't think they know what it means"

Plus all of the technically elite are using Macs now, didn't you hear?

That was 5 years ago, now they've all bought Mac Pros and put Vista on them.

 

[zbalat]

Sabayon dual booted with XP on one system and Suse 10.2 dual booted with XP on another. I'm quite impressed with Sabayon.

Alright,

I have removed the BSD and Unix flavors. The only thing left is Linux distributions and my attempt at humor.

Please let me know of anything that is inaccurate.

 

[Theb]

SimplyMEPIS, I might switch to PCLinux.

 

[xSauronx]

Debian

 

[butch84]

I'm running Kubuntu (I hate gnome) but since it wasn't an option, I picked ubuntu.

 

[xtknight]

Ubuntu Feisty

thanks for the headsup

I run Slackware on my server and Knoppix on my HTPC (well, it's a modified Knoppix distro, called KnoppMyth.)
I also have 2 boxes running OpenBSH. (my network firewall/nat box, and my laptop)

OK, I added OpenBSD and Solaris. Mac OS X = All hail Steve Jobs, MS = all hail Bill Gates.

But the "all hail jobs" entry makes it look like all mac os x users don't know what *nix is, which is just plain silly.

You forgot FreeBSD, NetBSD, ans DragonflyBSD.

Not to mention HP-UX and AIX.

Who the heck runs HP-UX and AIX at home???
At work we run AIX on most of our enterprise systems (that we got from IBM and paid a LOT of money for), however, for a "home" user ... AIX and HP-UX usually imply AIX or HP expensive servers .. which generally ... is a little bit on the side of "overkill", don't you think?
Just my 2 bits ....

 

[pkme2]

FC and Ubuntu.

It more than implies it because HPUX and AIX require that hardware, there is no x86 port of either them AFAIK. But there is a chance that you can find half-decent appropriate hardware on eBay so it's not impossible but just very unlikely.

Heh, overkill you say?

Since when has that stopped geeks/hackers?

Folks which don't share our interests in computers would find that many of us go on "overkill" in many different areas

I live alone and have 4 computers. They all have a purpose, but it's still 4 computers. Care to explain this to someone who doesn't own or care about computers?

I'll add Kubuntu, hopefully you can change your vote.

 

[sonoma1993]

fedora core 6 here

 

[logicmaster2003]

Debian-Elive ( where Debian meets Englightenment) which is on www.elivecd.org

[hasu]

Can I vote for multiple distros?

1. SAM-Linux (aka PCLinuxOS-2007) on my desktop (3GHz Celeron/1GB DDR)
2. edubuntu 7.04 for my son (1GHz PIII/512MB SDRAM)
3. Debian etch on server - not commissioned yet (2xPIII-1.13GHz/2GB SDRAM)

Everything working as expected to my satisfaction!

You have a good point there. I live alone and have 6 computers, they all have a purpose (server, nat, laptop, htpc, gaming box, spare box)...

And I suppose the "used" market does exist for IBM and HP hardware that's past it's prime ...

I have to admit, it would be kinda fun to have an AIX server at home, just so I could fvck around with HACMP ...

 

[Skeeedunt]

Ubuntu desktop in a VM, Debian for servers.

 

[Brazen]

It's amazing just a year or so ago, Fedora/CentOS would be neck-and-neck with Debian/Ubuntu, and before that the numbers would have been the opposite of what they are now. How things have changed! I'm a contributor to that change

 

[tatteredpotato]

Ubuntu Feisty, and I must say its a big improvement over 6.10, it just feels much more polished (this is probably due to a much improved Compiz).

Everyone has their own preferences.

I know this forum has a huge fanbase of Ubuntu (myself not included).

Use what you like. It's all using the same type of kernel.

What I can't understand is why folks question my liking of FC over Ubuntu.

question for you, what purpose does the "spare box" serve?

I used to have 6 myself and donated 2 to a friend of mine. I just had no room for it.

While I do work professionally with computers, I still need to keep my place some what date - presentable.

 

[Noema]

I run Kubuntu 6.10 on my desktop; Xubuntu (not on the list) 6.10 on my parents' Desktop; DSL (not on the list either) on an old Toshiba PIII Laptop.
