  1. distro's i've checked out:

    sourcemage, college linux, slackware, libranet, gentoo, mandrake, red hat (not necessarily in that order)

    ones i've used: Red Hat, Caldera (in 99), Mandrake, Gentoo-in that order.

     

    one's still on my "to try" list: sourcemage, debian, and of course LFS (if you can consider LFS a distro)

     

    i see your /bait, and i raise you a /superbait:

    what, you think using an unkown distro makes you l33t? :wink:

     

    bah those are all top20's :P

     

    and no i don't think using an "unknown" distro makes me l33t at all. i don't know enough to be l33t.

     

    /me is just a grumpy polar bear wondering why no one ever talks about distros outside the top 20. they can't be a bad.

     

    /me returns to eating her seal meal.

  2. sarah31: took a look at arch linux (saw you mention that's what you use in another thread), looks intriguing...i see you guys need someone to monitor security lists...hmm...i might be interested, although i'd have to brush up on my programming skills.  i don't mind reading security lists (i do this a lot anyways) and writing up announcements, but I'm a little unsure about my skills in patching...

     

    anyways, i think i'll install arch on my second unused drive (or part of it) and see what it's like....

     

    do the ftp install there have been some changes to the package manger that will cause some annoyances if you install from cd.

    ftp will give you the latest stuff.

     

    any troubles drop into the irc channel or forum.

     

    btw it was not a challenge to install arch but since arch is well down the list and it is pretty darn nice i wonder what other distros are out there that people pass by because they are programmed to go to gentoo or other such ilk.

  3. baa baa baaa ! you all seem to flock with the top 10-20 distros. do you guys ever actually visit other distro homepages and read about them? After trying three of the top ten distros and only liking one i did some reading and move on down the ranking scale. the distro i use now i like alot i would not think of putting any other linux on my pcs.

     

    /bait :P
