Poll: Choose your most favorite Linux distribution

[Zok]

I vote we take Archlinux off the list to piss off login.

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".

Goddamn it, Biopsy, get the fuck off your own dick. I know how a poll works. Did I ever say "Well golly, Debian's winning now, so that must mean it will always win and the poll is going to stop". No. I just mentioned that I thought it was odd that at that moment Debian had the most votes because I didn't think that there were very many Debian fans here. There are always threads about Ubuntu or FC, but I can count on one hand the number of users that I knew used Debian, which is why the poll results were surprising.

Debian, because everybody was doing it.

But seriously, because I had used Ubuntu for a while, and there were a few glitches I got annoyed with (mostly with sound and getting codecs for VLC (???)), so I switched to Debian in search of a distro that didn't give me that crap. Now I'm happy.

I concur. :P
Unfortunately I cannot edit poll items, which if I could I would just add more options.

Gentoo FTW ATW. I know the user community is full of tards but after you've figured shit out for yourself you don't even have to deal with those tards. Also, USE flags ftw. Also, having to compile everything doesn't even take very long with -j5 set on a shiny new Core2 Duo.

I voted for Slackware because everyone knows once you go slack you never want to go back.

that's not true, Slack was my first distro.

I like a distro called Freespire, which is the free version of Lin spire.

It comes with alot of open source software to match windows versions of them. If I remember correctly, it uses KDE. Its still early in development, so trying to connect to wireless networks is a pain in the butt.

I've only tried th ecurrent version of Fedora, Ubuntu and Suse, of which I like Ubuntu the best.

Why? Well Fedora didn't like half my hardware, Suse decided it didnt want to install my video drivers and Ubuntu....well Ubuntu does everything perfectly so far (except play WoW).

Back in the day I tried Red Hat something and Mandrake something, neither of which I liked (probably due to not understanding linux well and being impatient).
