[WMD]

Slackware.

[MrX]

obviously, BeOS.
If you dont know that I like BeOS, then go to heck.

Mr X

BeOS isn't a Linux Distro. -skyman8081

[Orethrius]

Slackware.

Slackware.  QED.  

[bedouin]

Debian, because apt-get is superior to RPM hell.

Mr X

BeOS is not a UNIX variant MrX. I think that is is the question solemnwarning was asking.

[Calum]

the question is not what your favourite linux distro, if you read the original post it simply asks what 'every1's fav distro' is...

although i think the redundant attempt to provoke annoyance in Mr X's post was puerile, unnecessary and, sadly, it also worked.

Correct, it doesn't, but this is the *nix forum and i'd like to think people can join the dots. Are you aware that BeOS isn't a *nix OS?
By your reasoning this thread could be full of people spouting off about Windows XP x64 beta, because that is a 'distribution' of an operating system...

I think you're just being obtuse and you are evidently the only person annoyed by IMHO an innocuous post.

PS. I have edited my original post so it is clear in it's broadest sense.

knoppix...since it's the only thing that installs on my other box.

[Refalm]

My favourite distro:


Highly customizable, no bloat and faster than Fedora

I run it on my personal computer and my router (well, before the hard disk broke down anyway...).

[Master of Reality]

oh yes, its quite obvious slackware is by far superior to any other (except maybe OpenBSD)

Come on Calum I don't think Mr X was trying to annoy anyone, he probably just got carried away with promoting BeOS.

I curently use Vector Linux and it's fast, stable and easy to use but hard to customise. I've tried knoppix and it looks good, It hav a nice and easy to use interface and it's easy to customise and it's bloat free too, it's not the easyest to install on your hard disk though.

Even Windows XP is faster than Fedora!

[skyman8081]

I use gentoo.

upgrading is as easy as:

Code: [Select]

emerge -u world

and for the recond, I dual boot XP, which runs at a very fast pace, a speed that is comparable to my gentoo box,

Certainly faster than KDE or GNOME will ever be.

[WMD]

XFce forever! \o/

As for the big slow two...Gnome is still a bit faster than KDE, and I hear Gnome has some plans to speed the thing up.

I like XFce too, contrary to popular belief it's not just a simple window manager it's a proper desktop too.

I've found Gnome faster than KDE too, this is probably even more the case on machines with less memory. KDE tends to do more things with one program this abandoning the traditional UNIX way of using different modules for different tasks. For example to open a zipped file Gnome will launch a separate File Roller program and KDE will use some internal preloaded code. I suppose if you have 1GB of RAM KDE might be faster than Gnome though.
