  • Favorite Linux Distribution?

    My favorite distros are Linux Mint and Opensuse. I also like Kali, but not for everyday use.

    There are so many that I haven't even tried..

    I have a lot of respect for Debian, Slackware and Archlinux. I'm usually
    around those three and as much as I'd like to.. I don't have time for more..

    I am using Mint right now on my BBS machine. Prior to that Ubuntu.

    I really didnt have a use for linux until I decided to run SBBS on it,
    then I learnted some stuff about it.

    I tried Redhat 5 or something back in the day but couldnt get my NIC
    working, so I stayed with Win98 or whatever I had at the time. :)

    Well unfortunately I haven't had the time to use it because of all the requirements to get everything set up correctly, but I really do love the hands-on aspects of Slackware. That being said, I'm currently using
    OpenBSD and Mint for my machines right now, as I need something
    that'll work with minimal overhead so that I can get the work done that I need to. Next time I've got another machine that I can play with I might consider putting slackware on it again.

    Interesting, those two are also my favorite Linux distros. I first used OpenSuse around 2000-ish (back then, it was just Suse), and I've always really liked it, since it had a large selection of packages on the installation media and its configuration tools seemed to work better than most other distros. I first used Mint last year, with the Cinnamon UI, and I really like it. I just installed Mint on my BBS machine last weekend after upgrading its RAM from 4GB to 16GB (although my BBS is still running in Windows XP, now inside a VM on that machine).
