In short:

If you could only use one distro right now for your own purposes, what distro would you use?

Sorry David, you brought an old cadence march to mind.

Slackware.

Cool

Hehe. I'd rather not start a huge argument in the actual post itself, just rather have like 1000 people vote. I think it'd be fun to see the selections!

You know, I'm sure this has been done before ...

...nonetheless, I'll vote

other > JAMD.

though from perusing this forum I'd say that the winner would be slackware or gentoo/debian.

slackware is ideal. debian is more gnuish. Either of them will win!
but i prefer slackware.
why slackware? because it is not a distribution, but a cd packed with kernel and other software binaries with a little setup program for setting it up in the hd.

Moved: More suitable in the Distribution forum where we have many other threads identical to this one.

Gentoo, the only Linux for me!

slackware was the distro for me, until i finally
dared to take the step to gentoo, in which
i have found a very able replacement.

I recently switched from Mandrake to SuSE (having used SuSE years ago). I think SuSE is an easy-to-get, comprehensive distribution with good support and what looks to be shaping up to a good financial future (German contracts and IBM behind them, as well as others). My money is on SuSE for having good solid staying power and good availability at retail. Of course, it is not without some technical problems, but show me a distro that isn't.

Redhat

tbellas · 08-12-2003, 07:28 PM

Redhat!

Tuvok · 08-12-2003, 07:52 PM

Suse; one that just works.

I have just finished building RedHat 9 on my laptop

rebuilt all srpms on the install disks from source, and downloaded and rebuilt all update sources from up2date.

kernel updated and rebuilt to add some things also.
still need to work on the kernel acpi

works good so far!
