did you forget something? ;)
EDIT: Curious... the pool was not showing just then. Nevermind...
SUSE. I think ever since.
My experience with Linux is somewhat limited. But did buy SUSE 8.0 Professional a few years ago when it was still owned by the Germany based company. I'm not so found of it anymore. But since I used it ever since version 5.0...
Also used Mandrake briefly. It was actually the first kernel I tried.
I went for SUSE too. it's pretty much the only one I've used any way consistantly. It's at home somewhere I think.
SUSE for me too i guess. I might get around to trying the winner(s) out
sometime.
SuSE does not even install with a compiler by default.. *slaps evil distro people* On the other hand, if I am not mistaken it was Novell behind Xgl, and that is kind of cool.
Archlinux
err... it asks you if you want to install developer tools.Quote:

Humour aside, I helped a friend installing something on his SuSE machine, and it was weird working on a machine with no compiler.

Ya I found that strange too in my first install (if you've seen my post about that
ordeal you'll know that installation didn't last too long :D ). I was excited about
my first command line compile in over a year and suddenly - gcc: command not
found!
I am running Damn Small Linux at the moment, it is Knoppix based, which is Debian based (I think) on the one machine that is running Linux at the moment. Took me a while to get it set up right since they messed with some stuff and left out some things that should be there (boot up sequence never does mount -a /boggle).
Slackware all the way, baby! I've been using it for 11 years and I ain't quittin' now!
Slack for me, as well.
I thought Ubuntu was really popular? That's what I have but gentoo's my vote
It looks like Gentoo is more popular here, because we all are programmers, and so Ubuntu might seem too easy for us. :)
