I run openSuse 11.1

I use Ubuntu 9.04

Ubuntu 9.04

In 4 days Fedora 11 will be released who's going to try?

I will definitely try it. I couldn't install the preview version on my PC with multple partitions due to some anaconda bug. I peridically try openSUSE and Fedora every time a new release comes out, and so far they always had terrible font rendering on my LCD screen. Otherwise, I liked openSUSE a bit more than Fedora, but I must say that Ubuntu has more packages, and online help is superior.

Open Suse and Ubuntu. I use them mostly at work for squid and nagios. My home box has Ubuntu and Vista. I use Vista to run Visual Studio 2008 and Rybka 3, so it's running Vista 95% of the time. I am a Microsoft guy: MCSE, MCITP Enterprise Admin, etc... But Linux is my hot little mistress on the side.

Ubuntu 8.10

I tried Jaunty, but it doesn't seem to agree with my Dell laptop.

It's running great on my HP with KDE 4.2!

Which desktop - gnome or kde? (or other?)

Gnome

Gnome

Ubuntu 9.04, but I've tried some distributions, like Fedora and openSUSE.

Pre-divorce, my home network looked lke this:

Garage workbench (with a kvm switch of course)

Linksys wrt54gs v.4 with dd-wrt linux firmware

Micron desktop triple boot windows 3.1, windows 98, Puppy Linux

Micron desktop debian etch

Dell desktop dual boot windows 7, debian lenny (note: windows 7 was running fast on a pentium 3 830Mhz with 512M of Rambus, so maybe Microsoft did something right with the kernel but many of the same Vista issues remain unresolved)

In the house: 

3 Vista laptops

1 Vista desktop

1 dual boot xp/kanotix desktop(ndis wrapper works great in kanotix!)

1 dual boot xp/debian lenny desktop

Also on the home network: xbox360, PS3, PS2, Wii, Game Cube, two ipod touches, my nephew's xp laptop and xp netbook (but he is in the airforce and only rarely stayed with us).

Comcast internet running at 10-15Mbs.

By the way my favorite game console, which was unfortunately not networked is the supernintendo.

Post-divorce my home network looks like this:

Vista laptop with Puppy sfs.

Ancient Gateway desktop with 2g celeron, Debian Lenny

Ancient Dell laptop xp.

512k dsl. Waaaaa.

Ubuntu 8.04 and XP SP3

Actually, I've gone back to 8.04, with one exception.

I think long term releases will work best!

Ubuntu 9.04, of course!!!

September 2009 update:

Dumped the sloooooooow Debian Compaq Desktop for a 2.4g p4 Dell tower and installed Ubuntu 9.04. Some configuration hassles with Skype and sharing printers with vista and xp (Debian was easier for that) but everything else was amazingly easy. And get this - Java and Flash are in the official repos! Just download 'em!

Still running Vista and Puppy on my laptop. Note Puppy's wireless support works best if you use WEP. It's still not compatible with WPA or WPA2 tkip-aes encryption.

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS at work
