My first preference (for both server and desktop) continues to be FreeBSD, but since this poll is about Linux distros, I selected 'RPM-based'.
I've tried a dozen Linux distros over the past couple years, and I always end up back with something close to the RH family. I am happy with CentOS and don't have a good reason to change. It is stable and familiar to me.

Currently:
EEE PC: Debian Etch

I just bought an old Sun Ultra 5, and this weekend I'm going to put gentoo 64bit sparc on it. Don't really care for solaris 9, but it IS fast on the Ultra 5
Operating System: GNU Emacs

slackware?
the author of this poll has obviously never used slackware, or they would know slackware is not a source-based distribution. slackware is a binary distribution (and one of the first ones at that).

I personally doubt that slackware is an binary distro. It contains "slap-cat" package manage ment Originally Posted by jeremi

what the hell are you talking about? slapcat is for LDAP and has nothing to do with slackware or package management. to correct you, slackware uses slackbuilds. Originally Posted by FeestBijtje
