Best linux

3 pointsby jayaramover 14 years ago
Hi all the linux users over here, I wanted to find out which si the best linux you had ever used.<p>I used ubuntu with the install inside windows option. Its kinda cool, you don;t need to partition a drive. I wanted to experiment things now and would like to try a new distro.

Debian, because of the stable / testing / unstable model mostly. On a server, I can use stable, on my desktop, which is supposed to have more recent software, I can use testing, and my development box is running unstable with the latest and greatest stuff.<p>And they are all Debian, a familiar environment.<p>However, for starters, I'd suggest Ubuntu, the de-facto "Linux for the Masses" distribution.

Depends on your use case. For desktop use, ubuntu is really good because of actual drivers.<p>If you want to use a stable linux distribution on a server, i can also recommend CentOS (open source RedHat Clone) or ubuntu LTS versions (long term support).<p>Another nice thing is, if your use case need that, to build your own linux from scratch.
