Fav Linux Distro?

Ubuntu Hoary running KDE 3.5, aka Kubuntu, is my fav distro/wm combo ever. =) I also liked Suse running gnome, and debian running gnome.

Slackware 10.2 modified, FluxBox for my WM. My other workstation is Slackware 10.1, with XFCE4.3.2 (with the XfceGoodies pack). I also have KDE 3.5 installed for the use of some K-Apps. On my main system I use Opera 8.5 for my browser, and Konqueror 3.5 on my other box.

I have tried about 50 distros, but I always come back to Slackware.

My old place of work used NetBSD on PowerMacs, setup in a cluster, with Plan9-based servers. (all set up by me).

If I had to say that I had a "second" fav distro it'd be ALinux.

Thanks, so far and if anyone has an ss they can post I'd love to check it out. Thanks,

Gentoo, by far.

A screenshot would be pointless, as you can pretty much make any given Linux distribution look like anything.

advent I tried Gentoo, I have to agree it's a mighty fine distro. I'd love to try it on a PPC-based system

All forms of Ubuntu are quite impressive, as is their community

I would say, Ubuntu is a very user-friendly distri and its easy to use.
Also Mandriva is very user-friendly but for i-love-my-winXP users, i think.
Same suse...
I love Slackware ... its just so cool ^^ and has so much features.

Gnome is easy but, i dont know but i dont like it.
same with KDE. everything is big and mostly eye-candy.
fluxbox!! so minimalistic, so stylish, i love it!
(same with blackbox, of course)
xfce is handy and has cool features

thats just my opinion about my linux experience so far (please correct me, if there is something incorrect)

well i've tried Gentoo, Vida-Linux, Mandrake, MEPIS, FreeBSD, Arch, RedHat 9, and FedoraCore.

they were all great, but I love Arch the most because of it's PKG manager, it's like protage but ALOT faster.

Then gentoo, but it takes a while to setup, that's why i like vida-linux, it's pretty much gentoo but with the andacona installer of FedoraCore.

the others were quit good but couldn't stand up to gentoo or Arch

I have a few favorite distros...

Slackware really taught me how to use Linux and the power that it has. If you really like to tweak things well this is a very good distro.

Debian because of its community. I never thought I'd try another distro but I became very fond of it. Just about any package u could dream of is a simple apt-get away.

Finally. Ubuntu which is pretty much Debian Sid tweaked. This is the best distro to come along in years. If u don't want to spend a lot of time tweaking and want a distro that just works this is your distro.

The above are source based and this is a major prefernce for me. I have never cared for RPM distros. They eventually seem to break.

Hope this helps...

debian

Ubunto and Debian

OMG! Someone stole my sig!

I haven't tried that many distros but I like Ubuntu the best.

I've used slackware, fedora, redhat, suse, debian, mandrake, conectiva, ximian-desktop, pld, gentoo and ubuntu and by far as far ubuntu is prolly the best as far as I am conserned.

Stay Frosty!

Thanks everyone for the great response! I'm going to give slackware or ubuntu a try, considering your input and some of the screenshots I've seen. I really appreciate all the feedback.
