As a dial-up user, I prefer openSUSE for the delta rpm's. A lot less time to keep the system updated. Runs PostgreSQL with PostGIS, Oracle, Quantem GIS and R and keeps them current. Also, I like both Debian and Ubuntu for the number and variety of packages. Love the guest account in Ubuntu 8.10 as a sandbox. Just reboot and /tmp is flushed.
Hello, I wanted to make the exact same poll, but checked before if one was existing, and obviously it does I have tested as desktop OpenSUSE(KDE), Ubuntu(KDE/GNOME), and Fedora. OpenSUSE and Ubuntu were very nice, Ubuntu being even easier to use and to install packages. Currently using Fedora to test it, and am really enjoying it currently, more than Ubuntu, whereas it has drawbacks compared to it (more command lines involved to install packages). Fedora then is my answer (might as well be another one next month lol). Regards, gkweb.
I'm running Ubuntu on the laptop, and Sabayon on the home pc, and I like them both: I voted Other and Ubuntu Before Ubuntu 8.10 was released, I used to use Ubuntu on the home computer too, but 8.10 didn't want to run on it, so, after reading good reviews on italian blogs and forums, I decided to try Sabayon, and I must say I love this distro and KDE
Ubuntu was my favourite, but now I dont know what to test.... Everything was working fine for a couple of months until first one update of Firefox made all my bookmarks and extensions to disappear and then another Ubuntu update rendered in a unbootable Ubuntu. It just stopped and came to a prompt which I couldnt use in any way (didnt take any input) Having not so much experience in Linux world I didnt know what to do. And after having tweaked Ubuntu to the way I wanted it (which took quite alot of howtos) Its a bummer to have to start all over again....but I will, later, when the inspiration comes along again
Ubuntu, for 2 reasons: - it appears to be the current most popular distro; - I can install and uninstall it easily using Wubi.
This is my second attempt to switch on Linux... I've just installed a (few days ago) Ubuntu 10.4. On my first attempt i've tried Mint... Ubuntu is better
I like Fedora for it's out of the box security, which is what a noob needs. Fedora has some problems like getting dual monitors working and using Network Manager as default when WiCD is mucho better. I heard that the other security conscious OOTB distro is OpenSUSE but not sure. I wouldn't touch Ubuntu with a ten foot pole.
maybe i will use linux when microsoft die. one time i use linux but i dont like it , i dont know how to use it & i dont know how to make any program.
I tried pclinux ,zorin,elive,ubuntu,fedora,opensuse,freebsd.Fell in love with fedora kde and opensuse
I have three favorites. 1. Arch linux 2. Fedora 3. Aptosid formaly known as "sidux" No gnome desktops for me. Only KDE!
I thought I would be put off by the new theme in Ubuntu but after playing with 10.10 I am finding that I like it a lot more than I expected. If Windows was not an option it would definitely be my first choice.
