    Default Which distro(s) are you using?

    I made this thread for a couple of reasons only, mainly:
    -->to get an idea on how many users are using X distro?
    -->to get the idea of how many users are using the distro that you are running so that you can ask/share problems/experiences with them
    -->and to get latest happening about any distro

    To fellow members: Do post any good piece of info that might help others too.There are many who are still new to *nix world (including me)....so it will surely help us all.

    Arch - my primary OS.
    Backtrack - for fun and learning.
    Arch Linux is kind of a bonzai tree, over years u try new things, make small tweaks, and end up with a system that is unique, elegant, and does exactly what u designed it to do.

    Default Re: Which distro(s) are you using?

    I'm using Fedora 16,Linux Mint,openSUSE 12.1,Ubuntu-11.12 all in their 64-bit flavors.
    Primary OS is Fedora 16,next very often I use is Linux Mint(LISA).
    My personal opinion :- Linux Mint is far, far, better than Ubuntu.Especially, the MATE desktop is a breeze to work upon when compared to that of UNITY desktop environment.

    I got Linux Mint on my Laptop, and Sabayon on my Desktop... both operating systems have survived several re-installations of xp/vista on the other partition and my parents are slowly becoming comfortable with Sabayon

    prefer to use JoliCloud on a USB tho for most reasons

    still an amateur, prefer to use the OS as is, without tinkering around too much ... met some professional Linux users (photo-editing, graphic design, video editing) many prefer either arch or gentoo
