Hi, my name is szchase. I am an old retiree, running a PC that dual boots Windows XP/Fedora10. I am pleased to be a member of LQ, because I think it is an excellent forum for sharing info about Linux distros. At the present, I am curious know what is the most popular Linux distro members prefer?
Thanks,
szchase
