Do you Ubuntu?

No, I "Mint"

( http://linuxmint.com/ )

for the following reasons:-

1. It is Ubuntu-based ( see Bob Warren's # 1 ),

2. It is "impure" (this means:

installing stuff like Real Player (which is Free, but
not open-source) is not a pain in the b*tt*m.

I have successfully run 17 different window managers
on Ubuntu so the
KDE/Gnome thingy doesn't really bother me:

I favour:-

Fluxbox or XFCE for programmers

and Enlightenment for people who "get off" on
eye-candy,

with Gnome for the vast majority of end-users.

sincerely, Richmond Mathewson.
