I am not a super geek, but I have good past experience with Ubuntu and Redhat.

Honestly, using Linux is not a geek thing anymore. I remember the days of searching for proper drivers, compiling and loading into a kernel. Not anymore.

I have used quite a lot of Linux distros.. Redhat, Fedora, opensuse, debian, mandriva, suse enterprise, ubuntu(current)
but ultimately, I believe in the best tool for the job philosophy(Windows/Linux)

This is true, although you can argue its a different sort of geek thing. Hardcore Linux users love to participate in community forums and discuss open-source stuff. I like being part of that community, even though I'm not loyal to any of the three (windoze/linux/mac).

I call myself a 'Linux enthusiast' and not a geek, simply because I never worked towards becoming one. Used Ubuntu in the past whenever I would on my 'open source living' spree, but then, was never satisfied with it and feels good to know that many other people aren't either. It's all too Windowy.
Dual-booted Windows XP with Fedora and was mightily impressed. There's been too many HDD changes and crashes and the tedious cycle of backing-up and transfers in a while, so that leaves me no time to have two OSs. So I just use XP for now but plan on getting back to Fedora very soon. And if I ever become a Linux geek, Arch Linux would be the one I'd use. You guys should seriously check it out. http://www.archlinux.org/

I saw this thread just now!
![]() I'm a Linux fan too. Been one for the past 6 years or so. It is pretty cool to use free stuff, and as it's free in the "free speech" sense too, I learned a lot about computers and software systems from using Linux. I use Ubuntu, and love the company's philosophy of giving their enterprise software for free and making money through services around it.

As I also have tried Windows but I didn't like that because I am not that much familiar with it and I didn't like its all of the functionalities. I like Ubuntu's all of the functionalities that much. |
