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?

Fedora 13 aka Goddard. I switched from a horribly mangled Ubuntu Studio with KDE installed. I got the DVD install disk by downloading it at a library. Great! Updating is a challenge. I have an idea, using Firefox's Down Them All addon, but I've yet to put it into practice.

Previously, I had tried OpenSuse, Mepis, Mandriva and Damn Small Linux.

I like to switch between a variety of environments, depending on my mood, so I gravitate to distros that incorporate many into one. I didn't find Ubuntu did that very well. Suse, Fedora and Mandriva have done so for a very long while.
