I am testing new versions and distros regularly though. __________________ It takes a lot of time to be a genius, you have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing. - Gertrude Stein New Users: Read This First

I also use Slackware every once in a while and like it just as much as Debian. __________________ "Today you are freer than ever to do what you want, provided you can pay for it!" --Bad Religion

I used to use Ubuntu (like most people when they start using Linux) which is a great distro, but still I like Debian better. __________________ That's my two pence worth. Chadders.

Freston Linux Engineer Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: The Netherlands Posts: 827	I voted other, and thus I can shamelessly advertise I've been away from Slackware for quite some time now. Away from Slack?? Well, not entirely, I run Vector Linux 5.8 SOHO on my main machine, and Vector 5.9 Std brought live back to my old box. Vector _is_ Slack, but in the best possible configuration (if such a thing exists) for desktop use. So you have a complete working Slack desktop system including all your multi media and office applications in one run of the installer (<20 minutes). And of course you finetune this to your needs as you'd do with any system, but the bulk of the work has been done. __________________ Can't tell an OS by it's GUI

Although I do like Arch, which is a binary distro, but not rpm or deb based. __________________ Go RedWings How to know if you are a geek. when you respond to "get a life!" with "what's the URL?" - Birger New users read The FAQ
