Just out of interest...
Ubuntu 5.10 for me :)

Slackware! The Granddaddy of all Distros! Still the best. (As if you couldn't tell from my .sig.)

For gaming I mostly use Win XP, and I have a larger percentage of machines which run Mandriva, but neither of those were the question, so my answer is PCLinuxOS. :) (It's good having control over which OS you use at work!)

(It's good having control over which OS you use at work!)
Absolutely. I'm a Linux admin in a mostly Linux environment. Whenever I have to work with windows, it drives me nuts--sorry to the windows partisans out there, but I just don't understand how you get work done without going crazy.
Heaven is tabbed terminal emulators on a dualhead workstation with 4 desktops/monitor.

Am I the only Mandriva user ? :(

windows xp....
yeah i know bill gates has warped my fragilistic mind :eek:

Arch Linux

I use XP mostly, but I am currently working on getting Yoper Linux set up (supposed to be fast) and am eagerly waiting for suse 10.1 final to finish downloading. Once I find a distro that performs like I want it to for gaming, XP will be banished from my HD ;)
-
Windows XP.
I'm sorry.
:cry: :cry: :cry:

What makes you think Windows doesn't drive us crazy? :D
I use Win XP untill ReactOS get a good release out.

server: win2k
multimedia-pc: winxp

I use Linux only. My computer is self-assembled. I haven't bought Windows for it. I always find something better to spend my money on. But I like Windows.
I earn money fixing Windows problems.
I have 2 hard drives, 80 and 200GB. All my essential stuff is on the smaller drive, which is RAID-mirrored to the first portion of the bigger drive. Some of it is also encrypted using dmcrypt. The swap space is on both drives striped for higher performance. The rest of 200GB drive is for non-essential easy replaceable stuff.
I take the small drive with me when I go to work and leave the other one safe at home. The RAID just runs in degraded mode and resyncs when I'm back.
I boot unbootable PCs from my disk. It will boot on nearly any i386 compatible PC. From there I can run memtest, SMART tests to check for bad blocks, testdisk to recover partition table, sleuthkit tools to analyze and recover data from the filesystem, ddrescue to backup failing disks, offline NT registry editor to view and change registry settings, and many other tools. The only problem is NTFS write support. Captive is slow, and the native driver is still limited (but nearly there).
Booting from HD instead of some Linux LiveCD allows me to always have the best version of every tool, and newest kernel which supports every ethernet/SATA/IDE controller out there. The memory requirements are also lower.
My distribution is PLD Th, bleeding edge development branch. Its greatest advantage is that I don't need English dictionary to read or write to the mailing lists. Living on the edge means that things break and it drives me crazy sometimes, but I can live with it.

Am I the only Mandriva user ? :(
I used Mandriva for about a year before Ubuntu. LE2005 was a great release and worked beautfully for me. Kinda got interested in GNOME though and Mandriva went to that yearly release cycle...oh and the bloody MCC menu editor ...grrrrr!
-
I am usually using Linux, but at the moment. I'm using Microsoft windows on a hp Tablet PC. I don't think tremulous will work so good here using a pen on a touchscreen. (at the moment I'm writing this sitting on the toilet and writing ). :D

Let the cowards use Linux. Windows XP is the real OS for real men! Danger, adventure, openness! That's what hardcore users need! :D

1337 in that the 1337-ness of others (virus/worm/trojan makers, adware/spyware marketers, haxxors, and pretty much anyone else who wants to mess with you in any way whatsoever) is exercized upon you .... hardcore indeed ... masochistic :evil:
-
Funny that I did not have any virus/trojan/adware/spyware on my Windows box for years... maybe that I just know what I can savely click... ;)
Would I not be the gamer I am I would still run gentoo at home... being the gamer I am and cedega sucking so much I stick to WinXP.
Running all servers on Debian, of course... ;)
Cheers, Danny
-
Win2k for the win!~ I also run a Damn Small Linux distro on a few boxes.
-
I used Win2k until 4 months ago... I loved it (as far as one can "love" a Windows... ;)).
Just by then I got my new box and WinXP is finally mature enough for daily usage... ;)
Cheers, Danny

Arch (http://www.archlinux.org/) works for me. It's not bloated by unnecessary daemons and loads of other stuff that many other distros tend to install. Gentoo's real 1337 but compiling everything does not work for me.
I try to stay away from windows as much as possible. Neato for gaming ofcourse.
-
Any linux distro or freebsd. I can't stand windows.
-
Windows 2000

Thanks for all those who voted - I guess a 50:50 split between win:linux is a fitting result (completely ignoring ERR's more representative stats :) ..and the fact that half the linux users will be using different distros by now :) :) :) )
-
Puts hands up
I admit to being a "2 fast 2 furious" user (Gentoo). Although I generally don't fit the usual gentoo user profile of being a complete nobber.
-
i run Arch and Ubuntu.
Arch because it's up to date without much fiddling, Ubuntu becuase it has everything Arch does, plus a helluva good community.
2.6.16 kernel, InitNG, Openbox, everything but the kitchen sink custom-compiled.
I friggin hate gentoo, though :roll:

I use Slackware.
Man you forget to mention this serious linux distro, while you listed many dummies ones. :roll:

I just took the most popular distros from Distrowatch and combined them with ones I'd seen in the game and picked the top 6-7, as the polling system will only take 10 options, that seemed sensible. Slackware and Mepis would have been included if I'd had more options (as would others).
Not going to grace your trolling by commenting on the 'Dummies' bit.

I don't blame you ... I've tried to install it many times, and somehow it never works.
Say, is arch easy to install ? I wanna switch away from Fedora, well, because it isn't the best of all distros. But I want one that is up to date, has a nice installer (as in it can be installed in a sane, user-friendly manner), and doesn't need a ton of configuring things yourself (I'm not good at that). I don't like Ubuntu, cuz they do things differently from most other distros, you know, put things in places they don't really belong in order to be more like Window$.

as an ubuntu user, I really dont know what you are talking about.

It's not trolling, everybody knows that these are easy distros:
Fedora Core
Mandriva
(K)Ubuntu
Novell SuSE
And these are serious distros:
Slackware
Debian
Gentoo
Sorry to had sound troll saying "dummies", it wasn't my purpose. ;)

OMFG. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. The other admin I share an office with is totally into cars. He's got a TransAm that he's pimped out and drag races. He is very anti-ricer and a hardcore Gentoo user. If he installs a machine, it gets Gentoo. End of story.
I simply cannot think of anything that would be more offensive to him than to be compared to a ricer.
