Mandrake.

It was the first distro to sucessfully install on my PC, and its stayed there ever since, lol.

I have tried a few others with VMware, for fun.

I may install Slackware in the near future.
The only reason I didn't rush into it was because it has a steep learning curve - or so im told lol.

Everywhere i go someone is going on about how good Slackware is, so i really have my mind set on trying that next.

One of my good friends is compiling his kernel atm, for Gentoo - so i'll see how it runs when/if he's done :)

I get bored in the daytime, so you never know - I could be on gentoo or slack tomorrow :P

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


Fedora: Because apt-get/synaptic is the best way to manage software packages.

Although Fedora is by default a bit slower than other linux distros, there is something about it that has me always coming back to it while trying other distros like slack, suse, and mandrake

Indeed. Plus, I found that the wizards in Mandrake didn't do exactly what I wanted.
And doing stuff manually or changing anything is a nightmare in Mandrake, that's why I choose Slackware.

Slackware for me.

I like it because it's slick and simple. The init system is a breath of fresh air after the stuffy convolutedness of sysvinit on other distros. And coming from LFS, but still wanting to compile the odd bit of software from source, I find Slackware's lack of -devel packages a great timesaver. :thumbup:

Only problem I had with Slackware 10.1 was that I couldn't eject mounted CDs/DVDs without logging out of KDE first. I had to recompile kdelibs without "--enable-dnotify" to fix that problem - :eek: - but that's all in a day's work for an ex-LFSer.
