Favorite Linux Deriv and Y

Mine is Gentoo Linux (http://www.gentoo.org). One of its many features is the “portage” system which automates downloads of new applications/packages including compiling them for you all in one command - incredibly more efficent than say RedHat’s RPC stuff.

I like Red Hat because it was simple to set up and works just fine for me as I’ve never used Linux before.

I don’t think too many other people use Linux here though :frowning:

Our uni machines in the Animation Labs have all started using linux this year - and this has been the first time I’ve ever had any experience of it. We use RedHat. I really like it :thumb:

I decided to try out Linux just because I have a deep hate of Windows and Bill Gates, and I thought I’d get some experience with it cause it’s what most servers run.

I’ve been pretty pleased with it so far :thumb:

I like Mandrake havent had the oportunity to install the latest version 9.2 last version i used was 8 and gnome and kde as Guis are nice but not untill the appts i use fully support linux wihtout emulation i just cant make the change to linux fully :frowning: guess im stuck with windows till this happens

I like SuSE running K Desktop Enviroment and a loser-like acqua theme :smiley:

Becuase I just do.

from what i have heard Mandrake is one of the best. i dont use linux but i would love to, just cant spare a box…(yet :evil:)
