Which is the Linux Distribution you prefer?
Hi, i just wanted to know, which Linux Distri you like most. I prefer Red Hat 9.0 because it's stable and runs very fast and smooth on my PC. It's also not much work to set it up correctly.

I use a Debian installation based on Knoppix 3.2. Last year, I started my first Linux installation with Suse 7.1, after that 8.0 and 8.1. Installation was very easy, but I ran into Problems when I made internet updates an later tried to install new programs from the disks.
Then I tried Debian based on Knoppix, but I had a lot of trouble to get the sound and the NVidia Card working. I had to rebuild the kernel to get the nvidia driver work.
After that I tried Gentoo. It was very good, the hardware support worked perfectly, but my hardware was too slow to compile all the stuff.
Now I'm happy with Debian. I like to test a lot of software, and with Debian I can download and install complete packages or update the whole system from the internet with one shell command.

I hate distros! I did a Linux From Scratch (highly customised from the default of course). LFS rocks!

I use Redhat 9 here at work, because the people here who really know about Linux use Redhat - as do our Linux servers. So if I have a problem I've got experts immediately to hand.
At home I've got Mandrake 9.2 on my laptop (Windows on my gaming machine), though I want to try out Mandrake Discovery sometime. Mandrake was the distro of choice (and expertise) at my last job - which was when I started to seriously use Linux. It's comfortingly similar to Redhat, but more user friendly IME.

I Have SuSE 8.2 & RedHat 9.0b
I prefer SuSE because its very easy to use and so you can work very fast and efficent (does this word exist in english?)
But RedHat is also very simple and it is smaller^_^
