if you could only have one distro..what would it be?

I wasn't being serious, It was an idea. That would be cool, though.

I would make it like Gentoo, and I would have a couple side projects that install like Slackware, SuSE, or something easy for people who don't want to chroot tarballs, or write their own config files, and I would make the base install include the latest Linux Standard Base, and I would include a straightforward text editor, kind of like nano, but maybe based on vim, because vim is cool.

Instead of trying to sprout a whole new distro, have you considered just helping the guys at Gentoo?

Linux distro....Hmmm
Right now I am using FreeBSD, but that isn't a linux distro so I would have to say probably, debian or gentoo. I like those two quite a bit. Not really a big deal for me.

That is the smartest thing I have heard all day.

"debian or gentoo. " Two very good distros.

Glad I could help you. It's too bad more people don't help out their favorite distro. I think far too many people are busy making a fork that will eventually die anyway.

Slackware!

Go Slack and you'll never go back

And another vote for Slackware.

I think this should be made into a poll, if any mod is willing to do this, I would think that would be more effective.

Funny, I don't see any options for adding a poll.

Yeah, for me the whole 'spells to cast' thing was a bit too much into the whole mage theme for me...

As for my comment, I don't see in the 'admin' options anything that would add a poll, sorry.

Slackware til the day I die

I've used a lot of distros over the years but my vote has to go to Ubuntu. I switched a couple of days ago and I've been totally floored. I forgot who has it the linky in their sig but thanks
