Laptop = Crunchbang, Old Desktop = Lubuntu, Media Server = Debian (stable) and New Desktop = Ubuntu 12.04.

3

Mint

4

+1 for Mint. I install stock Gnome 3, my preferred desktop environment. I don’t care for Unity or Cinnamon.

Ubuntu 10.04 for building Android source.

5

Fedora on both systems with gnome 3 and LXDE for my laptop when its on battery. I’m more of a fan of Red hat base, but I also am well versed with Debian (used that for 3 years before moving over to Fedora). I’ve never been a fan of Ubuntu.

6

Cinnamon or MATE?

7

On my Mac, I boot BackTrack off of a USB. I’ve got a Dell Precision 470 workstation running Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS, and an MK802IIIs running Lubuntu.

8

Xubuntu and Crunchbang.

9

Ubuntu 11.10 installed on a 7,1 Macbook Pro from mid 2010. First computer I got. Once I got into tech stuff I couldn’t stand the mac software. Hope to build a full tower desktop to run my Ubuntu setup this summer.

10

Arch Linux (Gnome Shell DE) or Debian on computers. CentOS on the LAN server.

11

Ubuntu 12.04/BackTrack5 - Laptop
Arch - Embedded projects

12

Arch when I feel lazy, gentoo when I don’t.

13

Mint 14, Cinnamon.

I got sick of Windows on my desktop and had used and liked Mint before so I decided to switch.

14

Gentoo + Awesome WM

15

Main work - RHEL 5, will be CentOS 6 soon
Development server - Ubuntu 12
Secondary server - CentOS 5
EC2 Instances - CentOS 5

The reason why I’m asking is because there is a GCC 4.8 VxWorks toolchain (as of now, only for Linux) here. The goal of the toolchain is to allow teams to use the C++11 standard in their code and to bring robot code development to Linux. The project is currently officially supporting Ubuntu and Debian, but I have suggested that we also include Arch and Fedora users (as I’m most comfortable with those distributions). It seems like Red Hat-based, Ubuntu-based, and Arch-based distributions are the most popular.

Yea, Thats just because those are the only two distros I regularly use with familiarity. If anyone know how to package for rpm, arch, gentoo, etc… please let me know. Its not supposed to be Ubuntu only :slight_smile:

18

I use Debian for my workstation, and Arch for embedded projects.

19

I use Debian on my servers, and Ubuntu on my laptop and desktop.

20

I use Fuduntu and Fedora on my laptop and Ubuntu on my desktop. I usually use GNOME 2 or 3 as my desktop environment.
