Fav distro
Master of Reality:
oh yes, its quite obvious slackware is by far superior to any other (except maybe OpenBSD)

--- Quote from: 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.

Come on Calum I don't think Mr X was trying to annoy anyone, he probably just got carried away with promoting BeOS.
--- Quote from: e7ement ---knoppix...since it's the only thing that installs on my other box.

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.
--- Quote from: 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...).

Even Windows XP is faster than Fedora!
skyman8081:
I use gentoo.
upgrading is as easy as:
--- Code: ---emerge -u world
--- End code ---
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.
