What Distros are you running

[plurworldinc]

As a member of a of family that uses Linux in our daily lives I was wondering what Linux distros are you running on your systems. I would love to say my entire family is running just Ubuntu, but I love the fact that Linux is general is becoming a major played in the desktop and server market.

Myself: Ubuntu 9.10 testing, until the final drops.

My wife: Linux Mint 9.04

oldest daughter Linux Mint 9.04 ( best starter distro if your coming from Windows)

youngest daughter: Qimo

father in law: Free BSD ( longers Linux user in the household)

And to top off my list I can finally say we are trying to set up our Myth TV system though our household to link of it our multimedia together for the holiday.

[SuperSonic4]

Arch Linux

[solwic]

Arch Linux

Ubuntu 9.04, but I'm looking at Debian, Zenwalk, Arch, and Slackware. I want something lean and fast, and Ubuntu is becoming just a little too bloated for me.

Of course, installing something like Slackware is going to be a huge jump in Linux knowledge, and will take a lot of reading.

I'm kind of looking forward to it. :biggrin:

[Simian Man]

My work computer has Fedora 12, my laptop has Fedora 10, our server has CentOS 5.3 and my wife's netbook has Windows 7. When our home desktop comes back from being fixed, we will likely upgrade it to 7 as well.

[InfernalNeutrino]

My laptop, wife's laptop, HTPC, desktop: Arch
Parent's desktop 1: Xubuntu 9.04
Parent's desktop 2: XP
Parent's laptop: XP
Bro's desktop: Vista (ack)
Bro's laptop: XP
Bro's play computer: Mint
Father-in-law's computers (many): Kubuntu *.*
Mother-in-law's desktop: Kubuntu/XP dual boot

Hopefully this christmas when I go home to see the parentals I can get them to switch over to more linuxy goodness, or at least make the xubuntu desktop the primary one :) .

[Bachstelze]

Debian (Sid) on one of my dedicated servers, OpenSuse (11.1) as Xen dom0 on my home server, and Ubuntu (Karmic) everywhere else.

[ssaint04]

Ubuntu 8.04, on my home server
Ubuntu 9.04 on all my other machines
I'll be upgrading to 9.10 over the weekend on some of my machines, probably.

[longtom]

Hardy were I need solidity, Intrepid on my very first Ubuntu install (leave it there for sentimental reasons.

Debian, DSL, Puppy, Jaunty (mini), AntiX, Slitaz, Open Suse, Centos, Mandriva and Arch on virtual setups, but that changes every so often.

Isn't choice great?

[running_rabbit07]

Debian Lenny on my toy machine, Ubuntu Karmic on my production machine, and my wife uses Vista.

[Bachstelze]

Oh, by the way...



father in law: Free BSD ( longers Linux user in the household)


FreeBSD is not Linux.

[VoodooLoveDog]

@home I have Ubuntu 9.04 on several machines (2 Dell laptops and a white box).

@work I have a few RHEL machines, a debian 4.0 (scheduled to upgrade to 5.0 shortly).

@play I'm messing around with Slackware 13 and BlackTrack 4 right now.

[ukripper]

At work: Redhat 5.4 and Fedora 11,
XP Pro(not distro but i use it for development purposes)

At home:
Ubuntu 9.04 64bit on 2 desktops, 1 laptop
1 netbook (8.04LTS 32bit)
Ubuntu 8.04LTS server
CentOS 5.4
Sidux (I love the fact it is a rolling release like Arch and let me run my apt scripts as it is based on debian unstable)

[plurworldinc]

your right, Free BSD in not Linux, but it is Open Source which we should support all together. I also gave him a copy of MoonOS for his little shuttle box he is now playing with , and that my friend is 100% LINUX, with Enlighment 17:popcorn:

I generally fiddle around with a lot of Distros while keeping Ubuntu at the centre of everything; Gentoo, and openSUSE were the last 2 I was running.

[siimo]

Slackware 13.0

[and1bskbl72]

I'm running ubuntu 9.10 RC2 upgraded to latest available.

Should be pretty close to final release.

[LookTJ]

I only run Arch Linux on my laptop(main and only machine)

[handy]

2xiMacs, (wife & myself) one dual boots with Arch.

A headless IPCop/Copfilter, specialised firewall/router/+ other services distro.

Tower with drive drawers that's purpose can be quickly changed for obvious reasons.

It runs FreeNAS, which is specialised NAS system based on FreeBSD (not a distro I know), it also currently has a drawer with a drive holding Mint-Xfce, there are some other distro's kicking about on disks but they are finished with & will be overwritten when I need the drive space for something else.

[longtom]

I find it remarkable how many members of the board are actually not using Ubuntu at all but are still regular visitors to the Ubuntu Forums.

Kudus to the forums where kudus are due!

[Cam42]

I use Ubuntu when I can
Crunchbang will be going on my laptop soon
My sisters run Xubuntu.
Still haven't convinced my parents to move to Linux.

[chris200x9]

desktop: opensolaris 2009.6
laptop: freebsd 8 RC1

I kind of hate solaris because of it's inability to minimal install...so I'm thinking of putting arch back on my laptop and switch my desktop to freebsd :p

[wulfgang]

I use Kubuntu on my primary computer, Windows Xp(for visual basic only)& LXDE Ubuntu on my secondary . Also, I previously used x-DSL (D*mn Small Linux) on my xbox.

[Johnsie]

Windows XP is my primary OS. IMO it's the best OS on the planet. It's user friendly, looks great and if you know what you are doing can actually be quite secure. On my netbook I have Windows 7 RTM and Ubuntu but spend more time in W7 because it's top of the boot list and the hibernate function is pretty good so I rarely have to do a cold boot. I prefer Windows XP to 7 simply because of the Volume controller in Windows XP. Windows XP has a basic slider mixer with all the channels but Windows 7 attempts to split everything up and I dont like that.

At work I have Ubuntu on my desktop and XP on my laptop. I do mostly work on my laptop because it has Visual Studio on it and is more compatible with our Windows network. The desktop is more of an escape when I want to do some experimenting.

Other distros I have tried and like are Puppy and DSL, which are great for older computers.

I had a go on Moblin and wanted to throw my computer out the window because there are still too many bugs.

Older distros I tried where Mandriva, Red Hat and Phat Linux, but haven't touched them for years.

I also installed Android on my Windows Mobile phone. It worked ok apart from not being able to take photos, make calls or use grps.

Oh and I use Ubuntu server and Freebsd on my servers at work and at home. Ubuntu server is great :-)

[Sporkman]

Ubuntu server is great :-)

Agreed!

[NormanFLinux]

Kubuntu on my Dell laptop, Kubuntu Netbook Edition my Dell Mini, PCLOS on my HP laptop, PCLOS LXDE on my HP Mini, Windows Vista soon to be 7 on my Toshiba laptop and Windows XP soon to be 7 on my Toshiba netbook.

[Pogeymanz]

I am running Arch Linux only on my box.
I have Ubuntu 9.10 in a VM on said box, and Haiku (not a Linux distro)

On my fiancee's computer I set up a dual-boot of WinXP(OEM) and Ubuntu 9.04 w/XFCE.

[Eagles18]

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10.I tried many distros in the past,but none come close to Ubuntu.

[Muppeteer]

Arch :D

[geogur]

ubuntu pc and a zandros laptop

[Grifulkin]

Arch on my laptop, #!Crunchbang on my other harddrive for this laptop. And then a dualboot 9.04/XP on my desktop. But at one point I will set-up Arch on my Desktop over 9.04. I just really like Arch.

[mthei]

I've been using Debian for over a year now. Before that I used to jump around a lot, usually sticking with Ubuntu or Fedora for the longest. These three are my favourite, but Debian is the one that made me settle down after getting tired of reinstalling different distros.
