Default Favorite Linux Distro?

Mandrake 9.2 with KDE 3.X is currently my fave

LindowsOS aint to shabby, but is rather limited

never heard of it

I did try out Red Hat Linux, for whatever reason it would not read my NTFS Partition(has of my music and etc)

Then tried Gentoo linux and well could not even install it(it insisted on removing windows)

Mandrake has been the least hassle for me on a dual boot system

BSD > Linux imho



But anyway Gentoo is awesome for a dev box, but can be impractical.

Mandrake is good for people who are new to *nix, but is extremely limited.

Red Hat is the ultimate jock-riding distro, but RPMs suck the big wang.

Mandrake 9.1 - only 'cause I'm a Linux n00b and don't know how to recompile for 9.2... h:

Been running dual boot for a couple of months now... and even my wireless keyboard/mouse combo works with it... :thumbup:

Now if only the Linux version of Y! Messenger had webcam support... `
