What your Distro of choice?
Pupster
Really curious to find out who uses what. Mine, of course, is Puppy
Linux - the older version 3.01. I use Puppy for nearly everything!
I also use Ubuntu 8.10 for some specific applications that are not, or
could not be ported/compiled to Puppy Linux.
Cheers

I use either Linux Mint 8, Ubuntu Lucid Lynx or Ubuntu Super OS....the common denominator is that they are all Ubuntu/Debian based.
This is the nice thing about Linux..I get to choose what I want and not be dictated to by a Company.

Why Linux is easy for Newbies Part 937.
Need to upgrade from version 9. Ok been a hacker since the 70s....
Well you need at least version 10 to 'upgrade', otherwise you can only
do a full wipe and install. Tried version 11 a while ago on the laptop
(didn't want to try it on the friend's desktop - last time I tried
that it fried the HD /home data - THAT version could not cope with 2
drives) - it crashed after erasing the drive with unintelligible error
that was unfixable without a rebuild - oh - laptop trashed... sigh...
OK got version 12 - damn - left magazine in Brisbane!
Ok download live DVD iso - broadband - Ok!
Write .iso using Brasero... F***!
Error: translation is that the file size is 3.5 Gb, but drive will not
handle files larger than 2Gb!
Ha, Will get 4 Gb usb drive - oh wait - Fedora BUILD ON PC WILL NOT
HANDLE FILES bigger than 2 Gb!
F***!F***!F***!F***!F***!F***!F***!F***!F***!F***!F***!F***!F***!F***!
F***!
And THAT, my friends, is why Linux is easy for Newbies!

Haha! Gotcha all!
If the Fedora BUILD ON PC WILL NOT HANDLE FILES bigger than 2 Gb, then
why did it write the 3.5Gb file to the HD?
ROFL....

Huh?
I've never had an issue with files over 2gbs. Only when I've
transferred them to my external HD which is Fat32.
I don't understand what's happened - Is Fedora a little bit retarded?
I always thought Fedora to be on the bleeding-edge of development and
that sort of thing would have been sorted. Or is it a glitch that
people need to beta test for Red Hat so they can make money?
I think I'll be loyal to my Puppy - with a bit of tlc it treats me
kindly.

I am using Ubuntu 9.10 on my desktop and I think UNR 10.4 on my Aspire
One netbook.
