The Best Linux Distro
I've been using ubuntu a few days now and am liking it a lot. I'm an old windows hand and this is my fist linux distro (if you don't count Fedora Core 5... needed to compile wireless drivers, so i need to install development packeages, so i need the internet to run package manager, so i need my wireless... oh dear. The thing comes on 5 bloody CDs, you'd have thought they could fit enough stuff there so that the package manager can launch without crashing </rant>).

ANYWHOO...

I found this test just now on another thread, and guess what came out on top? You gessed it, ubuntu!

Anyone else gonna give it a try?

Re: The Best Linux Distro
Survey says I should be using Debian. It's probably right, but I like this community too much!

Even though it's not mentioned up front, I got Lesbian Linux for some reason.

Interesting. Suse and Fedora came out on top. I've tried Suse on a VMWare...it was alright but I didn't give it much of a chance. I had Fedora for a little while and I couldn't stand it for my skill level. Now I've been using Ubuntu for a week and I like it more than any of those.
