Let the battle of opinions begin. Mandriva One seems excellent.

worked with red hat, mandrake and ubuntu. thus far, Ubuntu is more user-friendly because of its edgy-eft theme and live CD features for the winxp users.

I have used Ubuntu, SUSE 9.0-10.1, Mandriva 2007, and Knoppix. I found them all to be good except Mandriva, as it has given me the most grief (it just seemed unresponsive to everything I did).

From what i have heard, SUSE 10.2 is one of the best Linux distros out right now. I will be using it soon enough, so I guess I will be finding out.

FreeBSD (Not really Linux. Hee hee. But it is UNIX based. It's also compatible with many Linux apps.)

I've use mandrake, red hat, fedora core and slackware.. As far as my observation, fedore core & red hat (same distribution actually) is the most user freindly. Some linux geek didn't even consider those two as lunux..

I heard from other that slackware and debian is the most rated among linux geek.. Well, never tried debian but slackware is definately good.. Just that it is lesser user friendly. I recommend this one only after you familier with linux.

Debian linux will be better.........
try using it, it's very user friendly and supports a hell lot of programs.....

I'm the demi-god,

hi...i have 4 or 5 linux's distributions, ubuntu 6.10, fedora core 6, knoppix 5.1 and opensuse 10.2. For the novices, opensuse and knoppix, bye

Cancel

I currently use Ubuntu...Fedora Core seems pretty good but I don't get why they won't allow users to upgrade to Firefox 2 from their repositories....OpenSUSE...I haven't tried it yet but i heard it's somewhat bloated perhaps?

suse... my modem works good ^-^

I personally use Ubuntu because it has great guides and it seems a little bit easier to use than others

tried atleast 7 different distros, stayed with gentoo for about half a year, but moved to arch linux after I gave up on compiling. Whatever people say Gentoo does NOT make your computer any faster.

Very happy with arch right now, but trying to move to BSD but bsd doesn't support my sis chipset : (.

Ubuntu Rocks!

Fedora and Ubuntu are the best but there is more ubuntu`s users so Ubuntu has more information

Cancel

Ubuntu!

Ubuntu is my favorite. =D

Cancel

i tried some, but my favorites are gentoo and ubuntu.
i agree with kuza in that gentoo doesn't make your computer any faster, specially if you don't know what you are doing, you have the potential to make it slower, but it's a great distro and portage is awesome, the real downside is if you need instant gratification, building linux or any app from source is time consuming and sometimes frustrating.

I tried both Knoppix and Ubuntu.
Ubuntu seems promising, it's interface looks better.

Slackware is good if you run a server or want to really figure out how things work.

Cancel

ubuntu is good for beginners, but you should use fedora or opensuse in the long run, you can learn a lot of stuff from those two
