    Re: What Linux Distro were you using before Ubuntu?

    I ran Slackware before, but now Ubuntu is going to replace Slackware for any desktop/laptop use. My laptop has been converted from Windows, and my desktop may follow if CS:Source and HL2 run in Cedega.

    I gave a short Ubuntu demonstration to my school's computer club and just in a half hour of showing them the distro I got most of them begging for a CD. One converted from Slackware, one looked as if he might convert from Slack, and several others are Windows users. The rest just seemed quite impressed. One of the Slack kids was about to cream himself.

    Funny, I had nearly the same reaction when I discovered what a wonderful package manager apt is.

    Oh yeah.

    Synaptic needs a bit of work, sometimes, but apt is the best.
    Way faster then gentoo's, which is the only thing that comes close.
    If this is life, I think I'll live another day

    I daresay pkg_add on OpenBSD is faster, assuming you hit a local mirror.

    I voted mandrake, and I still have it. Have for 3 years. Ubuntu actually replaced my LFS.

    My first ever Distro was Redhat 6.
    I have used many different distros over the last few years including
    Mandrake 7 through to 10.1
    Suse 9 , 9.1 and 9.2
    Fedora all three core releases
    Redhat , all since 6 including RHEL releases
    Debian, Slackware,Xandros ,Lycoris.......

    before finding Ubuntu I guess my prefered distro was Mandrake

    Red Hat 6.1, 6.2: Corel 1.2: Caldera (hated it): Red Hat 7.0 through 7.3,:Tried RH 8.0 and didin't like it: Mandrake 9.0 through 10.1 for sheer usablility and convenience it's the best one I've used so far.

    Trying Ubuntu because I've been wanting to try a Debian based distro that isn't a nighmare to install and does what I it to do.

    Verdict is still out...still doing most of my work in Mandrake.

    I can't vote! My first distro was SuSE 9.0, then SuSE 9.1 and now Ubuntu.

    And I totally fell in love with Ubuntu. My Linux-Love!
