I am a LINUX WHORE

sis man, I'm faithful to my ubuntu, the gentoo and other linux whore distros do try and tempt me away from my boring missionary only ubuntu install... but nah I'm too afraid :p
 
I have Ubuntu on the wifes PC (yes finally, I got her to use Linux and it has been going good for over 3 months now) and the only thing that quarks me is the reboots after some of the updates, it is too close to windows.
:p

Tried to get my fam to switch to Fedora. 2 weeks later they were browsing the classifieds for Windows PC specials at Makro... lol. I put Windows back on.
 
I just told my wife that XP was the last Windows OS I'll buy and after seeing the price tag of Vista and Win7 she agreed, XP was the last.
 
Ubuntu is windows with a GPL license. As far as I know the updates come in a compiled format like windows. Hench the reboot.
 
Does Ksplice not remove the need to reboot.

I haven't tried it yet, and would be interested in comments.
 
Used Ubuntu, Red Hat (old), Fedora, OpenSuse, PCLinuxOS, Mandriva and a few firewall distros. Of all of them, Mandriva is the one I would run if I had to run a Linux box. Just works, is fast and is pretty. I guess being my first distro years back, I loved it to the point where no other distro could really satisfy me enough.

/That sounded a bit weird...
 
My main distro is Debian (Sid). Has been for about 2 years. I currently am running F12 Beta RC2 along with OpenSUSE 11.1. I think might just try Arch.
 
What would you experts reccommend for a Linux firewall/proxy/mail filtering gateway distro? :confused:

P.S. Expert : pronounced ex-spurt :- Ex is latin for "has been" and we all know a spurt is a drip under pressure. :p

Untangle is probably the easiest, you dont even need to learn linux.
 
Looks like I'll be deleting my opensuse partition because its kernel (2.6.32-rc5-3) can't handle more than 15 partitions on a disk. While Debian Sid and F12 Beta RC2 have no problems with how my disks are arranged.
 
Meaning of name Gentoo

QUOTE MyWorld "Ubuntu" - an African word meaning "Gentoo is too hard for me"

Well, in Cape Town the word "Gentoo" is a dockside whore.
