    fav *nix/linux

    what is everyone's favorite flavor of *nix/linux for an average day of using the box? I like Red Hat...

And most of the time in the cafes they have the joke-boxes on and the same jokes most of the time, or the musical wall lit and all the colored patterns running up and down, but it’s only color and all abstract. And at the museums, have you ever been? All abstract. That\'s all there is now...\"

    I'm a Red Hat person myself, but my not-so-experienced opinion probably doesn't count much, seeing as the only other release I have tried is Mandrake.

    Talking Fav *nix/Linux

    I think any Unix or Linux can be good, even Windows to an extent. You just need to configure it right. I like Mandrake for all the pretty bits and Slackware for serious stuff.

    I'm also a red hat kinda guy, but of course the only other flavor i've checked out is solaris, and that is a shell account, so many probably wouldn't even count that.....

    Nice signature, psi0nic...

    A friend of mine read it and din't find it at all funny... I guess the level of humour on this site needs a certain appreciation of sarcasm, satire, and just general wit!
