I would simple like to know some thoughts on peoples favorite types of linux

#2

Where is this pole that you speak of?

My fave distro is Fedora.

#3

I think you mean "poll".

However, since you wanted a "little bit of a pole", here is a 28' fiberglass pole in (you guessed it) orange for all of your Ubuntu-loving needs...

Oh, and for what it's worth, Ubuntu has earned it's way to being my favorite distro of Linux.

#4

Desktop and packaged apps - any distro based on debian(including ubuntu) Stability as in a 1 app kiosk - any distro based on redhat(including fedora) Booting from a usb stick - DSL Pen Testing - backtrack

#5

If you had added a poll wouldn't the results be biased as this is an Ubuntu forum?

#6

My great-grandfather used to be a Pole. He didn't use any computers, though.

#7

Moved to Other OS Talk.

#8

Arch and Kubuntu.

#9

YAFDT!

I'd say Ubuntu for all of its ease of use.

#10

Slackware or SliTaz.

Arch is also good, and I like NetBSD and OpenSolaris (not Linux).

#11

Overall, Ubuntu and FreeBSD (which is not Linux), for productivity. Currently though, Fedora is climbing back up my list, along with a few others like OpenSolaris.

ubuntu for a quick install on a new computer. it does work pretty easy most the time. debian for anything with lesser than 2 gigahertzh processor. open-solaris i use permanently as a office and internet computer system. the bsd types i like to explore but i have not yet found any favorite of them.

minix and free dos for really old computers that still is fun to play with and no one else wants. i want them. minix and freedos is actually pretty cool.

linux. it hass got to be debian based. if it is not then i stopped using it since i do not like rpm packages. it has also got to be pure debian based or live cd (which i do not care if is based on what ever) since there really is no point in installing a ubuntu based distro for the ease of use and learn another systems ways around it everytime when i use ubuntu anyway and like it. i do cheat on ubuntu if i can find something that looks more appealing but i always goes back to ubuntu and debian etch.

#13

Pole dancing would be my favourite ;)

I just learned that the mount scales with skill - that means if you are level 30, you can still ride it but it will be as fast as a level 30 mount. When you learn epic riding, it will speed up.

no

#17

Ubuntu for it's ease of use and large community support.

Others that I like are openSUSE, PClinuxOS and Vector.

#18

Arch Linux definitely takes the cake for me.

#19

Arch Linux and then Xubuntu

#20

#21

When I'm setting up a system for myself I prefer Arch.

When I set up a system for someone else I prefer Xubuntu or Fedora.
