I concur with JD. CentOS for servers, Ubuntu for workstations. If you haven't jumped into virtualization yet, I would certainly do so. It will make your dist-hopping experience much more pleasurable. VMware and Virtualbox are good places to start. Keep an eye on KVM as well. Andriod is certainly interesting. Don't know if you consider that a distro or not, but it does run a linux kernel. Which makes me wonder. Can I run Andriod in a VM? (w/out phone functionality) See http://distrowatch.com for distro ideas. Sabayon looks interesting. -- -Eric 'shubes' On 01/07/2011 09:22 AM, JD Austin wrote: > I stick with the ones that will keep me sharp for work: > Fedora/Mandrake/Centos = redhat > or Suse (many more use rh based) > > On Fri, Jan 7, 2011 at 09:17, Stephen > wrote: > > Well all I'm getting weirdly antsy in my preferred distro again... not > that i dislike using Ubuntu, but that I am looking for that next bit > of innovation that makes a distro. > > i liked Vinux when i looked at it this week, but I'm not really in the > market/need for a visually impaired setup but glad to have been > introduced to it. > > I am anxious to learn what others use here and what that "killer > feature" is that drew you to a given distribution. and/or something > really innovative that really defined a need for a new distribution. > > For example gentoo is defined by its emerge/portage (to me) and the > dynamic flexibility that represents to me. > Debian for its rock solid reliability, and conversely Ubuntu being a > graceful extension of that. > > > > -- > A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from > rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button. > > Stephen > --------------------------------------------------- > PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us > > To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: > http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss > > --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
