Title: Flavours
Post by Soda on Feb 18^th, 2009, 12:41am

What flavour of GNU/Linux do you run, if any, and why did you pick that one?

I used to run Red Hat (version 6 and version 7, back when they were just released) but I gave them up and stuck with Windows for a while. Now, I dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows Vista. I game in Vista, and I try to do everything else in Ubuntu. :D

I like Ubuntu because it's easy and it's neat and clean, and I like the original African Ubuntu philosophy:

"A person with Ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed." -Archbishop Desmond Tutu, 1999.

Also, I love bug #1 on the Ubuntu bug tracker:

Quote:

Microsoft has a majority market share.
Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC marketplace.
This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix.

At work, I'm stuck with Windows XP. :-/
