Seriously though I am kinda between distros and don’t have any installed ATM but I have been toying lately with gOS and Mandriva.

I used to use Mandriva back in the day because I liked KDE. Now that I’m older, I like the simplicity of GNOME and I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE the conary updater in Foresight. (I am a command line *edited* after all)

my roommate used this thing called BSFlite as a command line messaging service…. it was pretty sweet

I’ve used Mandrake, Redhat, and Fedora. Didn’t really like any but then again I’m a Windows guy.

well redhat == fedora basically and mandriva used to be about the same as well. you should give something else a try

I’ve used many different flavors playing around… For the most part I use Fedora.

 

Also have experience with TomsRTBT or whatever it’s called, Mandriva, Gentoo, YellowDog Linux, Ubuntu, Knoppix, Red Hat, etc.

 

edit: I’ve also used DSL, almost forgot. ( *edited* Small Linux ) – I’d have to give that one props for being the best out-of-the-box.

I keep a bootable version of the latest version of Ubuntu on my flashdrive, but until I can figure out how to install Ubuntu to a USB hard drive I won’t be using it regularly.

I managed to get gOS installed on a flash drive once. It’s kinda ubuntu… kinda.

Yeah, and back. I think i’m going to try to install a distro on an SD Card. It would be nice on my netbook. It had Xandros on it, but I effed that up pretty quick
