What Linux do you run?

[Picard]

Do you work for a school ?

Yes. A primary school. Grade R, 1 - 7. 1100 learners.

 

[Kasyx]

I use my own distro I created by installing Linux from scratch.

*flex*

On my laptop and work PC I use Kubuntu, our servers at work and for clients are generally either Slackware, SuSE or CentOS.

I'm busy installing a box which I am gonna use as my home firewall/router on Slackware 10.3

 

[The_Techie]

Ubuntu, only dabbling with it at the moment

 

[The_Unbeliever]

I plan on taking my external HDD to university soon though & download the zillion distros they have there. Then I'll try them 1 by 1 in the VM to find something that suits me.

That's the nice thing of a VM - you still have a working OS if the distro is not to your liking

Happily running OpenSuse 10.3 at home and at work although once a year I try Kubuntu to see if it's worth switching.

what makes OpenSUSE worth staying with then now that Kubuntu is quite good? Seriously curious. Never tried OpenSUSE yet.

 

[Tux]

Opensuse10.3 for me

I don't know I found when SUSE moved to OpenSUSE it started to be too sluggish for me. Also I think 10.1 it was that really f**ked me off with YaST being a downright b***h. But I had used SUSE from 8.3 till the last 9 with much joy. It taught me the joys of Linux.

It's mainly the fact that I can get a newly installed system running the way I like it without once needing to run anything from a command shell. I can configure everything I need from YaST. I tried Kubuntu again a few days and I couldn't even get my ADSL working without having to use a shell.

I really like Kubuntu, but currently OpenSuse seems a lot more mature as a desktop OS.

10.3?
You must mean openSUSE, Slack went from 10.2 to 11.0, 12.0 and soon will be 12.1.

 

[Ryder_JHB]

I have two Ubuntu Edgy servers running at home, with Kubuntu 7.10 on a laptop, pfsense on multiple firewalls, and openwrt on my WRT54G's, with some Gentoo / CentOS / Debian VM machines!

Edit: Forgot my trusty Mikrotik Router too...

 

[orin76]

do you use a usb modem for adsl?

I use an ADSL router in bridge mode so I can split local and international traffic.

 

[jmulder01]

Fedora 7
Will move to 8 after HW upgrade is complete.
They have great up-to-date repositories.

I can't believe there isn't a gui utility to setup a pppoe connection in ()ubuntu

why wait for a hw upgrade?

*blush*

Due to my stomach hating me last night, I was pretty much replying to threads on my way to the bathroom

I did indeed mean 12.0

 

[.Froot.]

Would be nice to hear what distro you currently run.

I am first

Ubuntu 8.04 and PuppyLinux3.01_WobblyNOP

You mean 8.04 BETA. 8.04 will only be released on the 24th I think it is

I run Kubuntu 7.10. Haven't found anything better from the dozen or so I have tried

 

[Compl33t]

No mention of Arch? My distro of choice.

 

[Kloon]

Used to run Suse but tasted Ubuntu and running 7.10 now for 6+ months.
