Oh, yeah ... don't forget the tabs. I think, even with Fluxbox' lightness and configurability, it's the tabs that keep me coming back to it. I'm a major multitasker, and those tabs keep my screen...

I like it. I've fooled with it; main reason I don't use it is 'cause the version I tried out (1.2) didn't have the stuff for a dialup connection, or at least I didn't find it. It's quick, though. A...

True, that. I think most of us distro-hop 'cause WE CAN. I keep a spare partition on the hard drive for such experiments, but have kept the same workhorse for more than a year.

Stick with it? Stick with it? Sounds almost un-American! :)

I love fluxbox ... fassst, a breeze to configure (I'm not shy about editing text files as long as I can understand them, and the Flux menu files are easy to decipher. I'm using Flux with rox-filer,...

That's my workhorse -- 5.0.1 SOHO, which has all the KDE fixins that I don't run very much. I find it an excellent distro, a lot more user-friendly than one would think for a Slackware base. If you...

I always keep my /home directory on a separate partition, so even when I'm setting up a new system much of the tweaking (especially in the eye-candy department) is pretty much automatic.
Random...

Your average Joe Windows user will most likely go with what he already has. Most such users just want a computer that works, without being too complicated. Upgrading is a pain in the butt, and most...

I usually switch off between xfce4 and fluxbox, and now using xfce4. Both are light (flux even more so) and a breeze to customize. Don't much care for desktop icons, but my screen is prettied up with...

Good list there. Sticking with a distro? I guess I have, to a degree. Used Kanotix/Debian Sid as my main system for about a year (after periods with Fedora and Mepis), and switched to Vector a couple...
-
I would definitely say Mepis. In addition to the advantages some of the others mentioned, how 'bout this: Just about everything works from the get-go. Don't have to mess with a lot of configuring to...

For most machines I would probably use Slack or a Slack variation, such as Vector if I want stability and performance within limited resources. I really like Vector. My main unit runs on...

With a swap partition, you can get away with as little as 48MB RAM for Puppy Linux, and it will STILL load into RAM. That's what I'm using in an old IBM Aptiva I found in a dumpster-diving...
-
I reckon you probably will sacrifice speed if you switch over. Twice.
1) I've never worked with straight Slack, but I have used several of its derivatives (Slax, Vector, College, Buffalo) and if...

Huh? Stick with one? Monogamy in Linux? What kind of Communist foolery is that ...?
If I could stick with one, it would probably be Debian Sid, installed via Kanotix (the system I'm using right...

Slax rocks! Although I use Mepis day-to-day, Slax is my carry-around distro for when I'm using someone else's rig. I use it a lot on my own 'puter, too. It's probably the fastest live CD around;...
-
It's an interesting distro. I'm not real wild about its no-root system (using sudo etc.) and I'm not a big Gnome fan (Fluxbox and Windowmaker are more my speed) but it has its charms. I'm in the...
-
I like it. Downloaded/burned the live CD and it's pretty quick for live.
I'm not a big Gnome fan (Fluxbox is my weapon of choice) but this one looks clean. Easy to use. The desktop is not all...
-
I've used the Redhat line -- broke in on 9.0, did most of my work on Fedora Core 1 -- and fiddled around with a handful of live CDs and other distros.
Right now my distro of choice is SimplyMepis,...

Similar situation -- I have an old Gateway Astro with 64M RAM, a 4G hard drive, and about (I think) 399 mHz. I keep it so my wife can learn on it. On this Gateway, Winders 98SE sputters and gasps...

My first Linux experience, 5 months ago, was with RH9 using Gnome. Upgraded to FC1 and started using KDE. Both are nice, but bloated. Wanted to get away from that; they were reminding me too much of...
-
Getting back to the original question of interactability, yes, I think it's a good idea.
<puts on NASCAR-rated flame-retardant suit>
Winders and your Linux flavors all have a niche in the...
