Debian! What else?

I use Linspire because it's easy to support and lets me concentrate on doing a job rather than futzing with the OS.

I am a committed Suse user, although try other distros too.

I use Simply Mepis 3.3.1 for 90% of everything I do. It just flat out works for me, and comes with everything but a music studio, which is why windows is still here......

I used to try out different Linux desktops (RedHat, Suse, Ubuntu), and finally ended up running Debian Sarge.

Fedora Core 3 ... became my default desktop until late this past year when Debian Sarge was loaded followed by packages from mainly Testing and a few from Unstable on the tower.

Four months ago i made my full switch to linux at the age of 17 with Ubuntu (previously i messed around with floppix, a predecessor to the now popular live-cd distros).

Australian JBoss users are bracing themselves for an Oracle raid in the wake of mounting speculation that the software giant's CEO Larry Ellison plans to include the J2EE application server provider in his ongoing, open source acquisition spree.

Speculation is rife that JBoss, which has a long list of local customers such as Queensland Transport, which oversees the all state's road and motoring matters, Centrelink and Optus, is Ellison's next target.

I use Xandros 3 currently, and I've used this distro since it was Corel 1.0. Back then, it was surely the easiest way to get Debian installed.

Out of them all, Debian is King

I use Gentoo. I switched from Debian when I built a dual Opteron. At the time there were only a few Linux distros that were ready to run in 64bit with dual ( 32/64 bit ) binary support. I tried them all and ended up trying Gentoo last.

SimplyMepis is simply the best! I believe in Debian. And yes, i do suffer from portage envy, but Simply Mepis is the only distro to pass the "my wife the Realtor" test.

I'm so glad you asked!

PCLinuxOS runs 13 desktops at the local community college and operates as email/internet machines.

You don't have to buy software anymore. Well, maybe you do, if you're the information systems department. Or if you need technical support (lotsa luck with that 800 number). Almost certainly, if you're a professional doing a professional job. But for home users, free open-source software is the way to go.

Arch Linux feels like home to me. I have used it for about 5 months now and I have no plans to stop using it.

I am from India and I started with Mandrake long back to learn programming. But after joining a job, I didn't used it for a considerable period. Now back in school, saw Suse 9.1 one fine day, since then I am using Suse.

I get a chuckle when I hear that Linux "...is not you grandmother's operating system." My wife and I are both in our 60's and grandparents.

Our survey results will see some additional tabulations before we release them. Even so, we received many outstanding posts. So, today, we'll allow you to have a look at what many of those surveyed wrote.

News Analysis: SugarCRM adopts the Microsoft Community License, but don't look for a rush of open-source companies following SugarCRM's lead, insiders say.
