What distro are you using?

[dreamwareos]

Well... I ventured into Linux with Ubuntu and after months of using it I loved it, but wanted to use others. Then I started using K/X/Edubuntu. After that I went to Fedora, then Linux Mint. I currently use Linux Mint, while my mother uses Fedora. (IDK why I didn't like Fedora. Never could warm up to an RPM distro)

Dragonbite - I'm on PCLOS - have been for over 2 years, after 5 years of Distro-Dancing - Mandrake, CentOS, Mandriva, Ubuntu, Fedora - one go at Kubuntu - then found PCLOS.

I'm running TinyMe - a "Lite-Lite" version of PCLOS - and Ubuntu 8.04 - on Virtual-Box. Ubuntu I still can't really go for - but I'm astounded at just how good TinyMe is. I've added KDE-base to get the "familiars" (TinyMe comes with a very pretty version of Xfce as default) - plus Wine and a few extras.

If you're a bit wary about trying PCLOS why not give TinyMe a go on a spare PC or in Virtual-Box?

TinyMe is only a 200MB ISO to D/L - and if you prefer KDE it's an easy install with Synaptic.

Regards, Dave.

PCLOS here (as well). Digital Photo edition for my "dark room" and miniMe 2008 on my two business machines. I like testing other distros for the fun of it (NERD! - yes I know...) but for the last 3-4 years I have only used PCLOS for getting things done.
 I use Turboprint for my photo printing jobs - CUPS simply isn't good enough.

I like to try different distros and usually keep 3 or 4 on my Linux box.  My current favorite is Mint, which I seem to keep coming back to, as it works well with my setup.  I'm looking forward to trying PCLinuxOS 2008 when it comes out.

What distro are you using?

My Linux box which I built just for playing with Linux.  Reused an old pentium 4, 1.6 Ghz in an Ultra MicroFly case.

Okay, I've done a quick try of PCLOS and it seems like something I could use.  And OMG, is it slick looking! 
Now I've also been running Debian Lenny (Testing) for a few days.  This looks promising . . .  (I'm used to several Debian CLI commands, and the packages are pretty dang current.)

Did I mention "Distro Junkie"?

@kenh... how much did it cost to get your work space cleaned so nice? And... can I get the number of the cleaning service

@lunoob... yup the 07 Beautification Team did an incredible job with the graphics. They worked very hard on all of it for months and the outcome was all well worth the sweat. The whole thing is just design perfection right through.

I started using Xandros in March of 2007 and switched to PCLOS 2007 in June of 2007.  I have been using PCLOS ever since.  I am now using Mini Me 2008 on both my HP desktop and Dell lappy.  I have been very comfortable with PCLOS, Mini Me and the KDE desktop.  It is easy to maintain with synaptic and I love the rolling release concept.

I have used Mint 5 on my lappy too.  It is a beautiful distro and easy to use and maintain.  It is the first 'buntu based Linux I've used that works for me.

I do have a spare computer and like to check out the various distros.  I am happy to have found two distros I like and that work for me.  I like 'easy' and don't need a challenge when it comes to my everyday computing needs.

Both forums are active and helpful.  I am also proud to be associated with the Linux Internationals Forum.  Like this forum, it is not distro specific but full of fun loving, helpful Linux users ready to assist at the first call for help.

I have a couple Linux distros and a couple sources for support.  With the Linux Graphics Users, I even have a great source of help for the various Linux graphics programs.  How lucky can one computer user be?

 Alright.. I'll join the fun.
 I started with Solaris 10 and actually still use it from time to time (have not tried the new release yet)
 From there, I wanted to try the first Symphony release but it would not play nice with my equipment at all (have not tried their new release either)
 I used Saxen OS for a bit on an older HP Pavilion and liked that a lot... (The new Saxen release looks really nice but again, have not tried it but plan to)
 Then... I tried Kubuntu and could not get it to work back then, so moved onto Fedora and stuck there a bit.
 Next came ZenWalk, which I loved but was now bitten by the bug and hooked on the hop. And I have tried just about all of em...
 When I finally came across PCLinuxOS 2007... I liked everything about it, especially the fact it worked on my IBM T21 laptop and I just stuck to it, and then got involved with MyPCLinuxOS and helped resurect the EduLOS project (which we changed to PCLinux Edukator) but my partner suddenly vanished which was a real bummer (and he was the brains behind the whole project)
 I took the helm of the Beautification Project because it seemed business would be great with all the projects on-going at the time. And I am also involved with the PELinuxOS (Producer Edition) which will hopefully be ready for beta soon.
 I also use GRANULAR Linux as my main OS now, and am heavily involved with the graphics there and it's just a really great group of people. We currently have the same issue many have had with the newest kernel where it does not acknowledge sata drives (but some have managed to find a work-around for it) And our devs are working on it hard...

 All in all... I'm mainly a KDE guy and I'm excited about the release of the 4.0 series but, truly hope they continue support for 3.5.9 because I know many people will want to stick with it for various reasons. Me too prob because I'm not a huge eye-candy guy when it comes to using an OS... I just want it to work, and need all my resources for graphics, multi-media work too much to waste on supporting all the stars & twinkles.
 I have also been playing around with the Athene desktop and also love OpenBox and even AfterStep... I have tried just about all the window manager and DE's some are really cool to play with (like LXDE) but... few are really reasonably developed enough to consider using as a full-time set-up But, the guys who have worked so hard on a couple, like Sam-Linux with XFCE and TinyMe with OpenBox and the guys with PCFluxboxOS, deserve a huge applause because the strides they have made are huge in lines of customizing the environments... because it takes a lot of work.

Gemini,
 Maybe you could learn to just 'let it out' and express yourself.   

(Amid all that thinking of things sooner.)     

[Paul LeBlanc]

hehe 

[lunoob]

Maybe you accidentally typed -v?

LOL

I had to use an old picture. I don't ever want to go through that cleaning process again!

Gemini and Tame had a big part in that artwork, Lunoob. Actually, Tame modified a contest winning logo submission quite a bit to give use what's now our official logo. It only slightly resembles the original entry. Great work, guys!

[Paul LeBlanc]

 Actually.. that was Tame & Gryphen  I came into Beautification around Aug or Jul of 2007

 Ludi, was the person who entered the winning submission.
