What distro is your favorite?

Been on mac for years, currently dabbling w/ ubuntu and fedora.. Want to get a feel for what everyone is running..

LRS · 09-16-2013, 08:27 PM

you should try Windows 8.1 for desktop and Centos v6.4 for servers

but if you're one of those anti-microsoft freaks stick to mac but im a .Net developer so microsoft product is all i use.

I have used in the past Ubuntu but had to switch on Windows because of stupid photoshop. Im not the windows hater and it's very good os for someone who doesnt overload pc as much as i do. But in this year only i had to reinstall it 5 times and i went of from windows for good. Im on ubuntu 12 now and it runs preety smooth. Only flash is kinda slow. And for servers i used centos always it can run without reboot for over a year.

First, You need to learn the difference between unix and linux.

facialfreak · 09-17-2013, 08:14 AM

60+ servers running CentOS

Desktop running Window 7
Desktop running Slackware/Xubuntu dual boot
Desktop running Windows XP Professional
MacBook Pro running OSX 10.8.5 Mountain Lion

I operate a computer repair/tech support business, so having multiple OSes is par to the course for my job ...

Stuck with gnome classic until I switched to gnome3 last year.

FreeBSD is dying out, it's a fact and I used to be a FreeBSD fan myself - because it is the closest relative to the original Unix. Unfortunately a word of advise to those still running it, is pack your things and migrate a soon as you're able to. It's becoming more and more insecure each month. Even the developers themselves are running Linux. For me, CentOS is the choice for large production environments where security and stability are of the utmost importance, for VPS and smaller servers we use Debian for a lower memory footprint. Ubuntu is also a good choice, which is based on Debian and probably easier to understand for novices.

They call slackware linux.

I have been using unix for over twenty years at my old job and this past year been playing with different linux distros, I first used Fedora but I felt the latest version is a little bloated trying to be a desktop replacement like Ubuntu. I installed Debian in July and I'm in love with it, it has just the simple Gnome desktop and I prefer doing everything at the command line anyways. This past weekend I downloaded CentOS and playing with it now, and its very similar to Fedora/Red Hat. Linux has come a long way in the last few years, when I first started using it in the late nineties it took days just to get a server up and running! If your looking for serious work as a Linux sysadmin like I am it looks like either CentOS or Debian is the way to go these days.

sandman! · 09-17-2013, 07:25 PM

sandman! · 09-17-2013, 07:46 PM
