Just Curious,
Why dont we start a Linux Distro Debate/ Pros $ Cons thread? You know, to help those on the fence with linux. Lets try this format:

1. General machine configuration (Latop/Desktop, OS Before Linux, Processor Speed Ram, HD Space, etc)
2. Linux Distro of Choice
3. Why you chose it
(optional) 4. Pros and Cons

Feel free to reply/comment/debate!

Example/My Preferences:

1. Desktop, previously ran Win. XP MCE, 2.5 Dual, 500 GB/2 Drives
2. Ubuntu 7.04 Fiesty Fawn.
3. I'd heard so much about it and thought it might be a good thing to try.
4. Pros and Cons
+Pros

My favorite sport, by far, is basketball. I enjoy both US NCAA (college) and NBA (professional), just in case you didn't know the acronyms Ryan :tongue:. I like the Dallas Mavericks, Cleavland Cavaliers, Duke Blue Devils, Wright State Raiders, and the University of Dayton (Ohio) Flyers.

EDIT: Okay, the NBA playoffs are here, which team are you rooting for?

I want the wallpaper that is the default wallpaper on Ubuntu Edgy and Fedora Core 6, anyone where I can get them?

I vote [YES] To having Avatars with out posts!
That would be so cool!

I would like if someone would write me a simple javascript program that when you enter your total experience - your current exp divided by another number like 220.
It would look like this:
50800-49985(divide)220=[3.7045454545454545454545454545455 = 4] 4
If someone could write a script and send it to me at:
methelight[at]gmail[dotcom]

Thanks

Happy Easter to all!

Not here yet in the US, but I know we have some in Europe and Down Under.

Remember why this is the greatest Christian Holiday of all!

So,
What is the process that turns a regular user into a Moderator?

I've been trying to find some good paid hosting for a while now, and since so many people have their own websites I thought it'd be a good place to ask for advice.

So far the best I've found (for the price+features) is DSTInternet:

Here is mine

Name: Ubuntu Professional Edition

Description: UPE is a fork of Ubuntu, everything is pretty much the same as Ubuntu except that UPE will have higher quality apps and stuff, and adding things that Ubuntu does not have (but would be good to have in it) like Beryl.

Portable Apps for Linux is up off its feet. It can be reached at: [self=promotional link removed]. Already has Calculator Portable up. Enjoy!
