Which version of linux do you use because i would like to know how many uses it and what is the best version

For simple use (assuming you are starting out) I would go with Ubuntu. Its easy to install and is easy to use. Ubuntu is one that is focused on being a desktop version of Linux.

I use Ubuntu on my laptop (yes wireless works) and I use CentOS 5 on my other computer as it is used to host my test websites, VPS servers, etc. Although CentOS could be used a desktop version I think you should stick with Ubuntu as the community they have is about a desktop linux distro.

Another one that is very simple to set up and use is PCLinuxOS. It's what I use, and it's simple-as-can-be. Even easier than Ubuntu, in fact.

I have used Ubuntu and it was very nice, althought I have not gotten around to installing 7.04, I did test the liveCD version of it; it had some nice eye candy...

I currently use Fedora 8, along with vista.

We have a 'family' computer with Ubuntu that I user every once and a while, but My Computer runs XP .

Ubuntu on my ollllllllld computer (runs great) I think the version is 7.0.4

Yes, I testify with my hand on the penguin " I do solemnly swear to using Linux".

Hehehehe, all seriousness though. I use Gentoo. I like it because it is technical and is geared toward technicians/developers/engineers etc. It lets you really get deep into the internals of the OS itself and figure out how it ticks.

P.S. The best version of Linux is the one using the latest Linux kernel! (kernel.org)

I run Debian "Testing" on my TorrentFlux/Ampache server,
Protech ONE on my Lifebook p7010 (ubuntu derivative for Pen-testers and programmers)
and I run standard UNSLUNG on my NLSU2 (my Printer server).

I'm biased to Debian since I like the deb packet system, for server use, my penny is on the debian testing or stable.
For desktop use I like ubuntu, any ubuntu flavour is good. The upside is that you can get help from all the debian based distros forums. And in this case the Gentoo crowd are some of the best experts on eccentric problems.

I have tried out PClinuxOS for about 6 months and it works OK, it is good at finding hardware, but the kernel in their repos are old, the latest is 2.6.17 and on my Debian I'm running 2.6.24-1. getting the HDA_intel in ALSA to work is a ***** on any system but completely impossible on PCLinuxOS due to the old kernels. Once you start to do somewhat more advanced work with PCLinuxOS it reveals this weakness.
On the strong side they do use apt-get and synaptic to manage the RPM system effectively removing dependence problems. They do give you everything you need to make the average user happy and Tex is quick with updating the repositories.


I do recommend that you check out www.distrowatch.org
