    Is LFS a choice?
    I really like sysvinit, you learn a lot, and everything can be optimized. LFS can be whatever you want it to be. LFS rules.

    I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me saying "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.

    Gentoo...and Debian...I have never used LFS, but it sounds challenging, so I'm in.

    i was a distrowatch junkie untill i found Arch ! Rock solid so far. just a great distro. fantastic help community. Lots of Apps and you can install everything as binary or as source thru their package manager.
    it isnt as easy as some others though, i had a friend that was given a celeron 533mhz and i put debian on that one for him cuz he wanted in on the Linux thing.

    yep, debian or Arch

    Thumbs up

    Debian! Aah, don't listen to me. I'm biased.

    In a word: Ubuntu! Tried lots of distros Ubuntu beats all of the rest. Rock Solid.

    Then again, Mike would have said "it's which distro is best for you".

    Mmmm....... Can't choose........

    Horses for courses etc....... Or the right tool for the job as FOBoT used to say......

    I've used RH, Debian, SuSE, Libranet, Mandrake and Slackware.

    Wasn't keen on RH or Mandrake, the others are all fine. I don't suppose it matters really, I used to prefer SuSE now I spend half my time in Libranet and the other half in Windows2k.

    Okies Libranet wins......
