Re: Favorite Distro

Regular non-Ubuntu Debian isn't even on the list? Harsh, yo.

No love for CentOS either, I see...

Re: Favorite Distro

Not clear on why something being a server OS should disqualify it from being someone's favorite distro...

Re: Favorite Distro

You didn't say "favorite distro to use as a desktop". You said "favorite distro".

I do, and I know lots of people who do as well. And yes, I'm reasonably sure me and the rest are in our right mind.

Oh, and has already been pointed out, you asked us what our favorite distro was. "Desktop" wasn't ever mentioned.

Re: GNU Compilers

Click to Expand / Collapse  Quote originally posted by Ancient Dragon ...
Ubuntu may be ok for just casual users, but is terrible for c/c++ programming. ...does not include any developers tools such as GNU compilers.
The GNU compilers may not be included in the .ISO for the LiveCD, but the GNU compilers are easily downloaded from the Ubuntu repositories via Synaptic.

Re: Favorite Distro

I like Ubuntu because of the good community, easy to use with Gnome,updating and installing programs is not bad,Installing Ubuntu takes 5-10 minutes on a machine with a fast SATA drive.
