Debian! Or at least, Ubuntu, as is my current distro. Can't believe Debian isn't in your list... And where's Slackware?

Forgot Debian and Ubuntu. Also should have included BSD although its not a kind of linux. I hadn't heard of slackware until i ran a search. Shame you can't change the options. New Poll.

Actually Slackware is considered the purest form of a Linux distribution. No bells and whistles. Just a kernel, desktop environment and the neccesities.

No Linux is just a kernel. There are over 200 different OS that use the Linux kernel, they're reffered to as distributions...
Each distribution aims to be good at something. Slackware doesn't force anything other than the bare neccesities and allows the user to do the rest. Linspire aims for everything to "just work", but at the cost of control for the user (much like Windows). Debian aims to be as stable as it can possibly be at the cost of long bug testing periods which leads to relatively "old" software (there is an "unstable" branch of Debian also)... Check out Distrowatch for more information if you're interested. |

Debian (unstable) - there's something up with a poll where the Other option has by far the most votes...
