What distro of *nix do you use?

[Solon]

Whether FC3 or Mandrake, BSD, or Darwin, what is the distro you use now?
If you have one that doesn't appear listed here, it is most likely is listed here, hence the "based" part of the choice, for example, if you have Ubuntu Linux, its Debian Based, but if you have ASP Linux, it is Red Hat based. Actually, you could get even more confused, technically Mandrake Linux is Red Hat based, and Darwin is BSD based. Oh, well, so tell us what you use!

1. Formerly FC3, now Ubuntu [Debian-based]

great distro. Faster than Fedora, less bloated, it comes with my wireless drivers in the kernel already, and many packages available in .deb format.

[Solon]

7. Yeah....

I'm waiting for Hoary to get out of beta stage so far, I liked the Warty distro though I don't use it right now. I use Kanotix 2005.1, based on Knoppix with better hardware detection. Also is debian based on the Unstable tree.

2. I've also made the move from FC3 to Ubuntu, but...

...I still have a couple of computers running SuSE 8.1 and FC1 as well. Ubunto is pretty sweet, however.

3. You need an "Other" because I use a source-based distro - and don't

say "Gentoo" covers that, because Source Mage pre-dates Gentoo.

Source Mage GNU/Linux

Also, I use NetBSD

5. Sorry! Past the Edit stage....

I should have thought of that already!!! *smacks head*

4. My Linux box

is on extended loan to a friend who has had his fill of MS bullshit. It is dual boot, OSX/YellowDog Linux.

8. FC3 on my desktop, Ubuntu on my laptop n/t

[Syrinx]

9. pure source code

Bootstrapped from Red Hat 6.0.

15. Showoff.

10. Let's see.

achilles -- Debian Sarge - PIV - Apache, Sendmail, Workstation
tortoise -- Gentoo stage 1 - AMD Duron - Workstation
turing -- Gentoo stage 1 - VIA EPIA Nehemiah - Workstation
sloth -- Red Hat based - StrongARM (NetWinder) - DNS server
bach -- Debian based - router hardware - Firewall
escher -- Debian - P1 (Cyrex) - (retired)
magnificrab -- Damn Small Linux - PII - ????

I voted Debian. But I'm slowly but surely becoming a Gentoo user.

11. What about Suse?

I'm using it - the install was great, and even though I haven't been able to figure out how to get my wireless LAN card to work (where to set it to ath0 via Yast?) It's pretty much the same as Redhat, which I'm used to using.

Once you get whatever running, however, and choose your desktop manager (I switch between KDE and Windowmaker, depending upon what I'm doing) they seem to be all pretty much the same.

12. SUSE 9.3

Been using SuSE for several years. Didn't see it on the list. It runs great and is easy to maintain.

13. My First Linux Distro

Yggsadril. Named after the Norse tree of the gods.

It was an unmitigated pain in the ass and its version of X didn't like my graphics card. I tried Linux a total of four times before I finally tried Ubuntu, and love it.

Just in time, too. Microsoft wants me to pay them something like $900 for a new MSDN subscription to develop in DotNet. Installing anything from them has become an ordeal of license navigation. I don't even have a job, and Microsoft's encouragement of my last employers' outsourcing didn't help my financial profile. So they're losing a developer.

And as much as I've loved Visual Basic, I've started to learn Python. C is also on the roster.

Mark Shuttlesworth can take a vacation in space any time he wants, as far as I'm concerned. So can Bill Gates, but he has to give Shuttlesworth the heat shield.

--p!

14. Welcome to Un*x.

16. Puppy

not sure of what it is based on. Newbie, but got the
wireless working.
Now have it set up on celeron 400 custom box
and IBM Thinkpad 390e.
Started with live cd then installed to hard drive,
win98se partitions on both.

17. More than one distribution.

Red Hat for StrongARM on Corel Netwinder
Debian Testing on Intel P4
Gentoo 2.6.15 on Athlon 64 X2
Gentoo 2.6.15 on VIA EPIA MII12000/C3 Nehemiah
Gentoo 2.6.11 on AMD Duron

I also have a Intel PII that runs Damn Small Linux.
