Next year on voting can we at least put some criteria to vote for?
Example Server: Security some points... Reliability some points... Performance some points... ... Than Desktop: Simplicity some points... Mobility (hardware support)... Security ... Maybe Slackware best server or close with RedHAT/CentOS and the oposite, Ubuntu for Desktop. DBMS: What makes a good dbms? Can MySQL overrun PostgreSQL as DBMS? Ok MongoDB as NoSQL. To be honest I like MySQL as administrator, it is so easy to administer but no way it can compete with PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL the only one in the competition that can compare with Oracle. BTW where is CUBRID? I hope I did not offend anyone I simply am trying to point that there have to be criteria to vote for. We users should vote regarding them, since this is the best and the most serious forum ever. We users don't want to ruin that reputation. Otherwise I admire your work Jeremy with all the LQ team.

The problem with the Debian(Ubuntu) rebranded systems is "point-click-and-go" segregates you the administrator from the core elements of the system, especially the important stuff. Having everything GUI based leaves no room for "learning" factors when it comes to problems from initialization scripts having corrupted settings, settings that break things, or simply a package that is inherently bad software conflicting with another package.
Think about this... If you rely on X11 and X11 goes down or the package gets corrupted or broken, how do you reset it, recover from it, or restore it back to defaults if it's all "point-click-and-go" and you know nothing of how to set it up from scratch? You have to manually using the command prompt, remove, rebuild and/or reinstall the package, then rebuild the initialization script, sometimes from scratch. Linux was built to be a dynamic-modular system with each component independent of enough of everything unless needed, not static-core system that's fully integrated into all it's many parts like Windows. On Linux if SDL kerplodes, you can work around it and rebuild a package to is tuned to your system probably within a few minutes, but on Windows, if DirectX kerplodes, you might end up reinstalling Windows or sepending a few hours while the Install Disk repairs your installation. Point-Click-And-Go teaches you NOTHING. I used PC&G Linux systems for many years with disappointing results. Red Hat, Mandrake, SuSE, and even Kubuntu, and honestly, I felt alienated from my own system. To me, Slackware lets me have control, lets me decide what ticks and what tocks, if this goes here or that goes there, and I know it will work each and every time. The first time I installed Slackware, it was different yet welcoming. Patrick's Slackware User Manual is so easy to read and follow, yet it teaches you so much it's utter brilliance. Honestly, try Slackware sometime for a good six weeks and compare it to the other PC&G distros. |

Thanks again for your participation. --jeremy |
congratulations to all the winners

Congrats to all winners. Also IMHO Debian is faster, simple and stable compared to many other distro and also its offered many hosting providers, hence its famous and most widely used.

I would have liked to see nautilus do much better in this poll.
|
Slackware!!! Yeah!
|
Debian Server ftw
