What Distro Are You Using?

On my netbook I run Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.4, works pretty well. Hated the new netbook interface though, so I got rid of it, back to a classic Ubuntu desktop.

I'd run *nix on my desktop here, but support for dialup modems is little/hard to get working. Plus, not sure what distros are out there that would fully utilize my i7 core :p

    I use fedora mostly but on the whole, I stick to closed source operating systems.

    Ubuntu

    I like to make live USBs and fuck around a lot, but that's what's installed.

    • Gentoo on my main laptop (in dualboot with Vista) 'cause I like bleeding edge, rolling release and tinkering with command lines and configuration files
    • Crunchbang on an older laptop which just needs to work fast
    • Experimenting with FreeBSD and Arch on another older laptop

    Linux Mint. I love it. Better even than Mac OS
    Would use PCBSD maybe, but laptop support isn't great.

    It was pretty badass to see Slackware with kernel 1.2.1 on a CD.

    Ubuntu dual booting on my desktop (Windows 7 primarily).
    I also have Backtrack on disc which I use sometimes for WEP cracking, and I have a few others on disc too. (Mint, puppy, Xubuntu)

    Im currently running Jolicloud because i sorta fucked up my computer. Before that i was using Ubuntu 9. When i Actually don't feel lazy i may actually install Ubuntu 10.04. I would really like to try slackware but I dont know how to install without a Guided User Interface (Sad i know).

    Although I run 10.04 I actually liked 9.10 better.

    I'm using CrunchBang on my main computer because it's 6 years old and is starting to struggle with the latest Fedora, Ubuntu and Mint releases. Openbox is the shit :D

    I have Fedora 13 on one of my laptops, dual booting with Windows 7.

    On my older desktops Arch Linux because of the power to refine it as much as you want.

    On my newer desktops i am in the middle of removing Ubuntu and installing Fedora 13 because Ubuntu has become way to fisher-price for my liking (they hide too much background detail)

    What does Arch Linux bring to the table as far as refining, which makes it stand out any more than say Fedora or Slackware?

    I tried Ubuntu one time, and have hated it ever since.
    I am glad I don't have to switch distributions due to something like you describe.
    I was using Slackware for some time until I started to notice the speed of development was not what I wanted, then switched to RedHat 9 and finally Fedora when it because Fedora.

    This has worked well for me.

    Something you make your own.

    Generally, it's building up from the lowest base packages to exactly what you want; rather than building down by removing replacing bits from a ready made distro.

    It's also rolling release and the community is great and incredibly helpful.

    at the moment I'm using Fedora Core 13. Funny thing is, I remember that totse got me on to using it a while ago. I first used FC4 (I think it was Biopsy then didn't use linux for a while, tried out Ubuntu and although it was really easy to use I wanted something different. So yeah, I'm back to Fedora Core and I'm learning more all the time.

    Personally, the command-line interface isn't so scary anymore, and I'd be using Linux all the time if I could get Traktor Scratch Pro to work in it.

    Ubuntu > Arch > Mint

    Yeah, I actually went from Arch to Mint. Mint has better repositories, and I don't mind bloat.
