Distro discussion

[sally_maria]

Hi, I've been lurking here for a while, so I thought I'd try and start a conversation. I've been using Linux for about a year, but wouldn't consider myself any kind of expert.

I was wondering which distros people use, and if you stick to just one, or if you "distro-hop" or use different ones on different machines. What do you love most about your distro of choice?

I run Ubuntu on my laptop, desktop, and home media/fileserver, plus Debian stable on our main server. Before that I used Red Hat, and, well, before that Slackware back in the days when Slackware was all that was around.

I love apt, which keeps me on Debian-based distributions. And Ubuntu generally has better hardware support and/or documented workaround, which is why I switched my initially laptop and later desktop to it.

I remember installing Slackware from floppies onto my old Sharp laptop, so many years ago! That was my first Linux install. I might even still have those floppies around.
