So....who here uses linux for their main o.s.?

If so,


What o.s. and why?


For me I currently run Ubuntu 9.10 and I'm loving it..!!!!:-)

It's my Main OS for all my servers.

My home server uses Fedora Core 8 - it's good and all but my other servers use CentOS 5. It's much better imo. You can do a lot more things there and I'm just used to more of the commands CentOS can take than Fedora can.

I've tried Ubuntu, never got into it too much. I've also tried debian, the basic commands here are different from that of CentOS so it never stuck with me either.

I wish I had more knowledge of linux.
There seem to be many benefits (No viruses is a good example), but I've just never gotten around to learning about it.

Maybe one day when I've become a bit more tech savvy.

It's not that hard once you get used to it. And yeah the no virus thing is good. The firewall is much better than what crappy Microsoft can give you. And best of all, most of the Distros are free..

The only paid one I can think of is Red Hat Linux. Could be a few other customized ones but I've never tried those.
