The only Linux distro I've personally tried using is Ubuntu and, quite frankly, I have no need to try out any others. It detected all my hardware (including my printer) without having to download additional drivers and it does everything I want it to. Some things can be a pain but being virus and anti-virus free more than makes up for those little snags.

This totally depends on your personal preferences and skill level. It's like wine, drink what you like.
I'm a slacker for serious stuff, use *buntu on my desktop and one of my laptops. Didn't give OpenSUSE enough of a chance and rolled my own BSD and LOVED them all. |

QUOTE(Silent Echoes @ Nov 17 2006, 12:20 PM)  So, what does everyone reckon the best distro is? I reckon Mandriva, because it's easy and English. But SUSE has more stuff!! What do you think everyone? mandriva can be installed in 15 min with everything u need and settin up network... its more easy than windows with mindblowing FX(Beryl, etc) that Vista can dream of... i am workin with linux cca 7 years but this distro is most easy to install/maintain... |

"I reckon..." Debian(pure) because:
- is solid like a rock - is stable - its "3 levels of game": stable, testing, sid - apt is the only think you have to know to start rocking on!!! - if apt isn't enough, play with aptitude - great community - etc, etc Blessings!! |

I believe that best distro is fedora Core although also ubuntu does not remain of side that has excelled years in the last, debian by nature one of the best ones and betting by the new thing would say that arch, but as single a vote is allowed, then it will vote by Fedora

QUOTE(Hercco @ Dec 1 2006, 08:11 AM) I'm currently running Ubuntu and I've been very happy with it. And for people who want to brand Ubuntu as n00b Linux, I'd like to say that there are many of us IT pros who just like the simplicity. Previously I've used Red Hat, Mandrake and Debian and I don't really have bad things to say about any of them. Hi, I've used lots of Linux OS'es in my computers. The best one I had is Ubuntu, fare play but it runs on beans with KDE (433MHz P3, 128RAM). With Ubuntu, it is easy to use and got lots of good games (because of Debian). If you're new or old to Linux, use Ubuntu. Note: the version 7.10 of ubuntu is on their site xxxx-Jozh-xxxx |

I think BSD is definitely faster, more stable, and generally better than Linux but there are some things that I think still make Linux more practical for the desktop and that is why I use it on mine.

Gentoo for my desktop, because I like the flexibility it offers, and somehow I never liked the package manager of other distros.
For servers, especially web servers I prefer using FreeBSD. It's more stable, faster and I also find it's package manager to be better than those of linux distros. |

I'll stick on slackware. I install linux mostly because I need to experiment with it or focus on its facilities/capabilities. And I rarely need its GUI features.
I know that installation of slackware maybe a bit difficult, but I do love it, I can choose to see every process of the installation or just make it automatically (and drink a glass of coffee  ).My favourite installation method is umsdos method (using zipslack). And by the way, it doesn't need big ram to have slackware on my machine. And... why no one votes for "I'm a sucker I use winblows" ? I want to vote for that option too because I also use microsoft products, but it's impossible to vote twice
