| My favorite changes as often as my mood. I started years ago with Red Hat and stuck with it for quite a while. I think my next distro was Mandrake, then SUSE. I was late adopting Ubuntu & other 'untu's. When someone tells me a distro is aimed at those new to Linux I tend to ignore it. For instance, I installed, played with and uninstalled Lindows (later Linspire) all in one day. The exception to that would be Mandrake/Mandriva. I really liked that OS for a while. Last year I had a 500GB drive partitioned to hold 10 distros, switching back and forth whenever I got bored or had to update. That turned into a fiasco, trying to remember where I'd put this file or that image.
These days my desktop hosts a 350GB drive for Vista (uggh) and a 500GB drive for Kubuntu. Unfortunately I can't dualboot my newest laptop as the wireless driver hasn't been ported to Linux yet (according to the VP of AMD who looked at it when I took it to the Google/KDE event in January.) My older laptop dualboots XP Pro and SUSE 10.3.
Kubuntu is a decent, solid and dependable OS. I'm happy with it. |
