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.

Re: Which distro(s) are you using?
Debian Customized like replaced the window manager with lite one, removed lots of services that I don't use. I like things clean & simple.

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.

Re: Which distro(s) are you using?

Re: Which distro(s) are you using?
kickass poll
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

Lol I downloaded and ran this in Qemu and this is the result, interestingly it has a GUI and windowing system by default.
Could do nothing in it though. No uname either... ;-(
