Above is a list of some of the popular distros of Linux and BSD. This poll is just so we will be able to tell with one is more popular with in the guild, and give us somethings we can talk about. The poll is in order from what DistroWatch.com says on there hit counter, so that means the closer it is on top the more hits that distro gets with in 6 months.
Side note, sense gaia only allows 10 options in there poll if you use something else please post what it is

I use a derivative of Slackware, called Zenwalk Linux... So I just checked off Slackware ;P. Slackware was one of my very first Linux distros about 7 years ago, its the distro I learned the Linux command line on. Then I moved to Gentoo > Slackware > Ubuntu > Zenwalk... I didn't care much for Ubuntu or Debian based distros... Gentoo's portage system, I didn't care much for. So now, back to my roots of Slackware biggrin . Been using Zenwalk for the past year and a half, and I'm pretty satisfied with it. It has everything you'd need out of Slackware (pkgtool, netpkg, easy installation, etc) and everything you don't need from Slackware. it has, what has now become my favored window manager, XFCE 4.4 included. It also has a very nice, modern, stable software suite. (Firefox, Gaim, Thunder, Abiword, GNUcash, Flash, Evince, GFtp, EtherApe, nmap, netcat, etc). I recommend this to any GNU/Linux user wink .

"You don't have an option for "D: all of the above." I play around iwth all of them. So far my favorite is gentoo and slack, but KDE isn't my favorite windows manager... I end up switching back and forth constantly.

There is a difference between Desktops and window managers, and any hard core Linux user would tear you up the a** for your mistake there.
Besides I meant that to people who find one that they are happy with for a while.

I mainly use Debian but have other systems running different distros. I progressed from Slackware (starting with 3.0), to Redhat, to Mandrake, and finally to Debian and have stayed there since. I'm running Opensuse on a test box right now, but my main two systems run Debian Etch for my house server and Sid for my main desktop.
Besides that I mess around with different distros to see what they add, and so far I keep going back to Debian for APT and the fact not too much extra junk is added. I don't mind running ./configure, make, make install or modding the kernel myself so it just works for my needs.

I got hooked on Linux back when Red Hat 6.0 was new biggrin
Since then I've used Debian, Fedora Core 4 and 5, Mandrake 10.0 (upgraded to 11), Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Damn Small Linux.... (interesting but I missed all the goodies off Kubuntu...
Currently my oldest daughter computer is running FC4 and my youngest daughter is running Ubuntu.
This computer is 'technically my wife's' so it's running Windows for her school (I have a Kubuntu 64 waiting to make this a rawkin' dual boot biggrin
