who else is running linux?

[foe]

Trying mandrake now, always used redhat thinking of giving this distribution a try.

[asuna]

I run it on my old computer for the hell of it

[iroc409]

mancakes and asshat suck.

i keep convincing myself i'm going to try slack someday. it's supposed to be as close to FreeBSD as you can get.

but then i think, why bother? FreeBSD just works.

BSD is for those people too weak to run Debian - a REAL distro.

[foe]

This is just for my personal pc, not that worried about speed, security. Although looking around mandrake does suck going back to redhat now

isn't debian like the brother nobody talks about in the unix world?

were they the ones that pretty much closed off their doors to everyone else, or am i thinking SuSE?

and if BSD's so easy, how come everyone runs asshat?

[TheJimmy]

lindows if you want a no-brainer install for a few bucks...

but I hear gentoo.org is a nice dist if you want a fbsd style *nix OS with more hardware support that freebsd....although I am a fan of fbsd....PS gentoo has a nice portage (ports) style system of installing shit as well...

[foe]

I have a server at home, now deciding between what to put on it freebsd or debian, leaning towards freebsd

BeOS foo'! I loaded it onto my Amiga. That shit roxx0rs.
