Linux Distro Chooser - Take the Test

Linux Distro Chooser

Rather simplistic really - my results were Mandriva, Fedora, Linux Mint, OpenSuSE, and Ubuntu.

 

Open SuSE

Fedora

All these others say my puter's too slow...

Kubuntu
Linux Mint
Ubuntu
Debian
Mandriva

I used Debian and Mandriva forever,
maybe I shouldda taken the test in English (which I am apparently still learning..) instead of Macedonian..

 

I seem to recall using this before, but i can't find it here in Wilders. It's buried somewhere.

Debian, Kubuntu, Mandriva, OpenSuse, Mepis, Fedora.
I wonder if they cheat with the user agent?

 

Interesting... these results surprised me.

Mepis
OpenSuse
Mandriva
Kubuntu
Fedora

I currently use Ubuntu but I guess these results may have been skewed by my selection of the KDE desktop, when I started to think of my days a few years back with Mandrake

 

My results were:

Kubuntu
Debian
Linux Mint
Ubuntu
Ark Linux

Pretty good match to what I actually like..... except I've never used or heard of Ark before.

 

Odd, but in favor - Arch, Frugal, Slack and Too. *Pedro, think Longboard!

 

OT I know, but I thought I'd jump in and ask a question while a few folk are looking at this thread

I currently have Ubuntu 9.04 dual booting with Vista Home Premium.

Are there any problems with installing another distro straight over the top of the Ubuntu? Will there be any issues with the loader or anything else? Am thinking I might have a look at the Mepis or Mandriva.

TIA

Cheers

(Sorry for the off topic Q

 

Gentoo and Slackware for me. Fits pretty well. It's been a few years since I used Gentoo.
But just recently returned to Slackware.

 

Apologies - didn't realise this was posted before, but now at least it's in the
right forum.

 

100%:Kubuntu, Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Mandriva, OpenSuSE
90%: Fedora, Debian,

While I have not tried all of them Ubuntu has my preference.

 

100% for Ubuntu, Mint and Debian for me.

 

Arch, Gentoo and Slackware.

I'm currently using Arch, so spot on.

 

Like Nick, got Ubuntu, Mint and Debian ...

It depends on what bootloader you are currently using and how you overwrite the Ubuntu. If you are using Grub then the new distro should just create a new Grub with no problems. If you are using Vista's bootloader, then you have to be sure that the new distro installs Grub to its own partition and not the MBR.

 

You shouldn't apologize, i was just trying to remember so i can look at my results then.
GlobalForce, i don't think that's the one but i appreciate the help as always.

 

BINGO! - "Which Linux distro do you run and why?"

 

GlobalForce, that's some Fravia skills!
That's the one, where Mrk couldn't find a match

 

Grub here. Thanks for the reply.

Since writing my initial question above, I have done a fresh install of Ubuntu over the top of the previous installation. It went off without a hitch.

But I will soon try another distro as despite my love of Ubuntu, Ubuntu does not love my HP DV6 laptop - I am having major issues (like many) with audio o/p from the machines in-built speakers

 

Seriously, this one's more realistic - http://www.tuxradar.com/content/how-choose-best-linux-distro

 

Thanks heaps for this - lots of good info here

 

Good - glad you found it so.

 

100% Slackware and a couple of others. My preferred distro is Slackware and is what I have used since Slackware came out.

 

Anybody used dynebolic distro ? It has some one quite good reviews on Distrowatch. Strong on Multimedia.

I got 100% on these:
Debian
OpenSuSE
Mandriva
Linux Mint
Ubuntu
Fedora


Have been using Ubuntu for quite some time now.

 

Haha,

Apparently no distros for me!
