Curious....

For those daring enough to loosen the Microsoft apron strings. What Distro
is your favorite? I'm currently playing with Ubuntu 9.04 and CentOS 5.3..

Me too for the desktop. Debian Lenny for the server, and various versions
of Mandriva and Ubuntu in VirtualBox for testing in software development.

I am currently using Fedora, Ubuntu 9.04 at home, Mint (which is
awesome by the way), CentOS for some server based stuff and I usually
have VirtualBox running something else to try!

n00buntu 9.04 on my desktop, 9.04NBR on my netbook, 8.10 on my laptop

I like to run backtrack off a SD card when I do anything serious.

I am not really an ubuntu fan, but I am so lazy these days and it is so
easy.

Clarkconnect for a file server & gateway, based on CentOS.
Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit on main desktop.
Ubuntu 9.10 desktop remix on a eeepc 701.

I have been using ubuntu since 7.10, 7.04 used to boot to a black screen
on my old ati graphics card and I couldn't figure out how to edit
xorg.conf to make it work back then. I need my linux boxes to work
because they are my main computers so I appreciate the ease of use. I
make sure when I buy hardware it is linux friendly.

I run xp in virtualbox when I need to sync my running watch and my gps
other than that I don't use windows.
