What Linux Distro were you using before Ubuntu?

Vector Linux. Slackware based. Ran very well on my 233MMx machine with 256 meg ram.

Yoper! I found it much faster and just as stable but slightly easier to use than ubuntu. Ubuntu has much better support and community though.

My Linux OS roadmap :

- early on - Madrake, Lycoris, Aurox
A couple of years break
- recently (6 months) I know that Linux is the right thing for me
I've tried : Fedora Core (I like it veeeery much), Yoper (fast but buggy), Slackware (I don't have the time to setup up all the things by hand), Gentoo - (the same as Slackware) and Ubuntu.

I first heard about Ubuntu on distrowatch. Dowladed Hoary, and got suck into it Since then I've switched several times between FC and Ubuntu. But the thing that made me choose definately is apt-get -> I love it, 200% better then yum and strange repos mixing

Cheers all Ubuntu fans My first post, but I've been following this board for ages

I first learned linux in Linpsire Five-0, but I have a bad experience, so Linux had a bad impact on me before

Mostly Suse for me, though I have worked with several others - Red Hat, Fedora, Debian, Knoppix, Centos (only on web servers that I run). At the moment I like Ubuntu better than all others, especially for desktop - though I am still working out for myself whether it is going to do for a couple of server jobs that we need to do - postgres database server, workgroup fileserver and email server, host OS for sql-ledger
