[plug] Re: Frugalware

[Michael L. Benjamin]

Slackware-> Yggdrassil -> Debian -> Redhat -> RHEL 3 / 4 myself.
 
I run RHEL 3 on three dual-proc blade servers.
 
I'm very happy with my RH distro. I've encountered very few problems
with it over the years. 5 Star stability, and great driver support. 
An alternative to Fedora Core is Centos.
 
If you're wondering what Yggdrasil is:

I'm amazed.  I know exactly what you mean by formatting week by
week/month by month, but I mainly did this when I was running Windows as
my primary OS (purely for stability/speed reasons)!!  My voyages through
linux distributions have been far less than your amazing list though
(its like you copied it straight off distrowatch.com!), but I share the
same sentiment for many of the distributions that we've both used.

 

I've gone Redhat -> Slackware -> Debian -> Gentoo over the course of
about 3-4 years, and use Ubuntu on my laptop.

As well as that I've used Mandrake/Mandriva, Fedora, and a few others,
and wouldn't recommend them to anyone!

 

Debian for server work/stability

Debian/OpenBSD for routers/gateways/firewalls

Ubuntu for laptop (You're spot on, everything just works, Power
management, screen/resolution & hardware detection, removable device
management.. PERFECT!)

Gentoo for my desktops.  I've not tried Crux or anything, but its
definitely faster than the other distributions I've ran on this
computer.  I has Debian on my desktop for a long time and the speed
difference is fantastic.

 

Live CD's definitely have their place in testing/debugging or just short
term solutions (great for temporary routers/firewalls)

 

Your message was definitely an interesting read, by the way!

 

Regards

 

Shannon
