If you had a choice Habit, mostly. My first Linux distribution was Red Hat Linux 4.2. I hang out at Parinux, the local LUG where I try to help out whenever we have an install party. A side-effect is that I tend to test other distributions from time to time (latest was Ubuntu) so that I can recommend whichever one is the most appropriate but I keep on coming back to RH/Fedora. In no particular order: Debian: Choose between an outdated distribution and two which don't have security updates? No thanks. Mandrake: Serious lack of polish. All flash, no substance. Suse: Never tried it. We disagree on this whole OSS commitment thing. Ubuntu: A distribution with Windows' featureset. What was the point, again? Gentoo: This is next on my list. I just need to find the time (lots of it, according to all accounts). To be fair, all of these distributions work, none of them would have the amount of users they currently enjoy if they were didn't. But I'm used to Red Hat's layout, Bluecurve blows me away, updating doesn't break anything and it's 100% OSS. What else can I say ? > between 'Suse 9.2 Professional - DVD Edition' and 'Fedora Core 3 on DVD' > what would you do? See above. Fedora everytime. Emmanuel
