Loki Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Hi everyone. I was wondering if I was the only real geek hangin out here so I figured I would try to find out......... Whats your favorite Linux Distribution?? Personally I run archlinux on my laptop and dual boot archlinux and Windows 7 on my workstation.

-=Medic=- Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 few years ago I would say Mandriva but since I tried uby it's obviously Ubuntu for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixus Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Ubuntu as a toy in a virtual box. If vmware or virtual pc would support hardware graphics acceleration, directX, openGL so that you could play in it, i would have 8gbyte RAM, Linux as base os and all other staff as toys in boxes.

Loki Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Dix, I thought I read that Sun xvm (Virtual Box) supported HW gfx acceleration for openGL on VT enabled systems........I will have to check again since I dont have a new enough system to use it.

Number1Dad Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I run Ubuntu 7.10 on my laptop (that laptop's graphics chipset isn't supported by any acceleration drivers in newer builds), tri-boot Vista x64 Ult, XP Pro 32, and Kubuntu 9 on my desktop, and Debian on my fileserver, probably will switch to Red Hat or Gentoo on that one when I get it back up and running (had a head crash and haven't replaced it yet).

God Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Ubuntu just hides linux behind a pretty GUI. Gentoo from a Stage 3 install is where it's at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
