Poll: Choose your most favorite Linux distribution

BiOPSY · #1 2007-04-04, 18:36

Choose your favorite Linux distribution, and state why you like it over any other Linux distribution.

This thread is for those curious which distribution they might want to switch to, or why not to switch to a distribution for any reason.

I'll let you guess which one I chose.

DEBIAN! DEBIAN!

I mean... Like... Fedora, totally, all the way.

I was going to add RHEL, but the poll options I was limited to were 10 items. I have posted this issue and it may be fixed in the future.

Voted Ubuntu. Because I'm a *NIX noob and it's given me less crap than any other OS I've ever used.

Fedora looks cool and I like yum a lot more than apt-get but when I tried to install FC6 it kept leaking like a whore so I had to remove it. Maybe I'll try to get it working properly on the weekend.

Wow, who would have thought that Debian would be the vote leader here, even beating out Ubuntu the Redheaded Stepchild.

I thought we were the minority here?

First of all this poll system has a huge error: it shows you how the poll is when you enter, this is wrong because this may (and it will) affect your decision. I will choose Fedora in behalf of Red Hat, now I'm tryng Debian and it looks good, I like the apt-get thing (for now) and I like the fact that all the hardware was successfully auto configured, but I must be fair and give my vote to fedora as I use this distro for much more time (and also because I have already seen that Debian is wining)

PS: Biopsy isn't your signature a little too much? Thanks for your comments about chroot in my disappeared ? thread

I'm pretty sure by this comment you're unfamiliar with how a poll works.
The polls here do not allow you to make multiple poll choices nor vote twice. This poll is also not a poll which is going to become inactive after a set period of time.

This means that as the days go by, and people participate in the poll, we get a simple cross section of which distribution more people like the most.

This poll is not about determining a minority, it is to try to detur some of the "Which distro should I use" threads and "Why do you like XXXX ditro more than XXX distro".
