Hi all,My vote is for RedHat Linux, BCoz of its Own added Functionalities Like Red Hat Package Managemenet System (popularly Known as RPM). Cool look and Feel and changeable themes. And main thng is the kind of support given by RedHat Linux People.

I vote for RedHat linux. Since RedHat organization provids/ relise updated versions of linux as and when there is a considereble change in the Linux. The installated process of RedHat is eassier than any other linux verisons. They have provided very good GUI for manaing and configuring linux platform. It is easy to access dos partitions in the hard disk. One major lackness is they are not providing media player

I have yet to encounter a Linux distribution that I don't like or have much to complain about. At university I get to use Debian's and its sweet. Once I get my 2nd computer fixed (read: new MoBo for it) I will install Debian to it. For my parents I installed Mandrake. They are far from being talented with computers but so far there has been nothing that they need to do that they couldn't. Mandrake is bluddy easy to install and the package contains most of the stuff that machine ever needs. I have downloaded and installed only few additional programs. My first Linux was RedHat which I installed to my own machine. Everyhting was smooth except that I couldn't get some devices to work. But it's not really OS's fault when there is no drivers. SuSE, well as I study IT I know quite a few linux gurus. And many of them favour SuSE linux. I'd say SuSE t-shirts and patches are most popular "linux-gear" around here. One well respected finnish computer magazine just recently wrote a highly positive review of the new SuSE (is it 9.2?) .In my opinion the things in Linux world are quite well. There are lot of high quality distros available and the software houses behind them keep on improving them. All that is needed is more people to start using them.

For those of you wishing to try out linux, here is a review of different 'live cds'

Live cds allow you to run linux without installing it on your hard drive, to try it out.

-.-

 

SuSE 9.2 is only a ).1 with some news Pkgs and a newer kernel..

I haven't SuSE's T-Shirt but Patches are useful, why I need to download a newer version or recompile all ? Patch Patch and everything is done

 

But You're right, if you use SuSE like use Win.... Don't let me speak....

But SuSE is a Linux Sysem as the other if you remove Yast and the Configuration during the install

Where's Debian? Knoppix? Xandros? Linspire? Ubuntu? DSL?Missed a 'few' of the major distributions. You really need to add more choices.Or just add an other.

Mandrake is my favourite. Somehow it just captures what Linux is all about.... It looks cool! I just wish that to me it was a real alternative to win xp. If I had Linux on my PC I'm not sure what I would use it for!

I vote for gentoo. It is more customizable than any other distro. I like Ubuntu and Fedora as well.

[amkint 0]

fedora core is cool... no choice here so it comes under red hat.

Suse gets my vote, only one ive ever used and its pretty good. Although I have seen some others running that look so much cooler.

The Linux Poll has been updated and now you'll find the names of a lot of common/uncommon, popular/less popular, new and old linux distributions on the list, that were missing earlier. I hope you'll have a much extensive choice to pick your favourite flavour of linux from
Poll away....
