Hi all,
I am sure this has been asked before, and I am only asking out of idle
curiosity..
What is your preferred distribution of Linux? It seems most of the
list is based on Ubuntu or some derivative (or even Debian)
Personally I'm on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (the rolling release version of
OpenSUSE) and liking it very much, though perhaps lacking in app
selection in the repositories, however that is not a big issue, I can
always compile my own :D Biggest bugbear for me was the poor font
rendering. Unlike Ubuntu flavours, OpenSuse doesn't have nice looking
fonts by default, of course this was easily fixed by a community
repository with updated freetype2 and related stuff but it would have
been nice to have it enabled by default as per Ubuntu related.
Anyway, what's your favourite? I should add I mean for desktop use
rather than server use, but it's all relevant!
Glenn

I started many years ago on Suse, then moved to Debian but in the early
days I was not all together settled with Debian. Over time I have tried
the various strains of *buntu but they were not my cup of tea. I then
moved to Mepis (Debian based) until the new KDE4 moved to search for
another distro, a quick spell with Mint (debian based) where I did not
like the way they did things. I tried Arch which I liked but I was
having to give it more time than I had so in the end I came back to the
one distro I knew I could work with, Debian.
So I guess my favourite is Debian ;-)
