I was wondering if there are any Linux users here? You don't have to be a full-time user, you might have XP/Vista/Mac installed too. I've used Ubuntu and PCLinuxOS. I didn't like GNOME, so now I'm using KDE in Mandriva 2008 and I love it! Wine has progressed and so a lot of games work in Linux now. I love The GIMP (free Photoshop alternative) and Amarok (free music player). I discovered that k3b is a far superior CD-burning software than Nero. So if you haven't tried Linux, go get Ubuntu or Mandriva and grab a free distribution. For a full list of the top distros check Distrowatch. |

ubuntu and vista for me. ubuntu is pretty good especially with compiz fusion and all the effects. the new gutsy release worked flawlessly with my system. big improvement from feisty where i had to customize lots of things and install lots of other things. i love it |

Soon to be dualbooting Windows XP and Gentoo. Finally picked up a new hard drive so I have the space now instead of having to use my old clunker of a desktop for my linux box. |

I want to run Linux, and I have the setup Cd ready and everything, but I'm worried that if my dad found out that I was running it, he'd kill me. |

Why do people like you post in threads that don't apply to yourself in any way? I run Xubuntu. I've used Ubuntu since July but seeing as they've decided to bundle in Compiz and other crap by default, and I get exactly the same functionality from Xfce with half the RAM usage, I decided to switch. |

lol ^ I've been dual-booting Vista and Ubuntu ever since I got the new PC. Ubuntu is great, I'd rather do everything relating to browsing the net with it, but I still need Vista for everything else pretty much, so I'm pretty content with dual-booting. |
