Linux Distributions

I think MEPIS LINUX is the best. It has great interface, nice selection of programs ( developer included ) and a great debian-like update manager where you can also install thousands of binary packages just by checking the box and clicking download. It is aimed more at the home user or developer rather than an administrator, but with add-ons it can be greatly extended. Best of all, aside from being free, MEPIS fits onto only one CD. Although I still am a windows freak, my second computer has MEPIS, and it has never crashed on me even once!

My question is.....why you hate Windows now? I could never hate Windows enough to have to use Linux!!

I'd vote for Ubuntu even though I'm not a fanatic.

I'm just thankful to this distribution because it helped me a lot when I wanted to discover Linux world and now I'm just feeling good with a lot of distros (Debian, Fedora, Mandriva...).

I've used Fedora Core and Ubuntu.

I vote for Ubuntu, its really easy to use, you won't be needing the terminal so much.

Here's why I don't want to use Windows anymore:

"This copy of windows is not genuine

You may be a victim of software counterfeiting".

It's only going to get worse with Vista. No thanks.

Windows - Crashes too much, Nothing works, And I am not paying $300+ dollars for an OS, only to have to buy a new on 2 years later...., All the updates screw up my system beyond repair..., etc... , etc...

Linux - Confusing, Confusing, Has problems with my Music CDs, does not seem to support my Modem...

I notice nobody mentioned my favorite distribution gentoo , you compile everything from source code

window was easier to steal before, it got to a point where it took too much work so i switched....

i also saw the new Vista video Vs Gnome, Gnome just kicked vista's ass.

oh also

i program 5 times fast in linux VIM than visual studio
usin the mouse is the biggest pain

I prefer Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu). It's 100 times better than ubuntu, everything works for me, even my webcam, pad and other devices that wouldn't run on other distros without spending a day on configuring.

Also, I very like FreeBSD and OpenBSD for server.

About Windows, I do not understand you all.
"I am windows user, linux suxor! / I am linux user, windows suxor!"
I think GNU/Linux based systems are excellent for home computers: watch movies, listen to music, download something from net, etc.
Windows is better for games, I also prefer it as my workstation (never seen better IDE than VisualStudio).
Windows vs GNU/Linux is stupid war.
