Gentoo first with Mandrake and Suse as a close second. More Mandrake then Suse. I like the free iso factor.

Fedora Core 3

Debian Debian Debian. Alot of the new distros(ie. Ubuntu) making headlines are based upon the rock-solid Debian. Plus with the new Debian-Installer this distro keeps getting better and better! :cool:

UBUNTU
|
Fedora Core 3!!!

The One, The Only.............Slackware
|
Gentoo is the best. Last year I voted Slack, but Gentoo is so much cooler. Emerge 4 LIFE.

Debian.
Because it's free all the way; Because It's the mother of many new distros; Because it's Debian... |
Xandros, Ubuntu, and Knoppix (and I believe Mepis & Linspire) are all Debian-based, so by that measure you'd have to say that Debian is the most popular distro.

The SubGenius must have Slack!

One Distro, to rule them all…
One Distro, to find them… One Distro, to bring them all… And in the darkness, bind them… Yeah..........I can hear it.......It is Debian :D |
Slackware 10 comes with 2.6.7 but has 2.4 becasue it is more stable.

root@smoker / # uname -r I never had anything but problems with 2.4 kernels myself. Maybe my hardware is a bit to new. Later :D :D :D :D |
Stable as in '22:31:51 up 510 days, 16:08, 400 users' on a business machine and the like. I'm making stuff up, but the point's there. I use 2.6 myself and it's fine for me, but that doesn't mean it is for everybody.
But, yeah, the original point about Slackware coming with old packages is frankly ridiculous. |
Gentoo.....hands down. Fedora (although a great distro)use to be my fav. Then i was introduced to portage and speed!!. I have since never looked back. Debian/Ubuntu run a very close second for me....awesome distros.
For me the Gentoo documentation is absolutely the best. I use the Gentoo documentation for just about any general linux setup 1) Gentoo 2) Debian/Ubuntu 3) Fedora I think i will try Slack in '05 for firewall duty |
