GigsVT's Journal: Offtopic Distro Pluggin

First the Red Hat zealots came for me,
and I said nothing because I didn't want to run a commercialized distro
Then the Gentoo zealots came for me,
and I said nothing because I didn't want to compile everything
Then the OS X zealots came for me,
and I said nothing because I won't pay for overpriced hardware
Finally the Ubuntu zealots came for me,
and everyone was so sick of offtopic zealotry that no one spoke up at all.

Seriously though, I really don't have any opinion one way or another on Ubuntu itself. It sounds nice enough, even if it does break compatibility with Debian in an seemingly unnecessary way. Ubuntusers are driving me up a wall with their constant proselytizing though.

kubuntu

i'm downloading the dvd iso for kubuntu right now. i had this hard drive that's been sitting around for a while. i finally cleaned it up (burned stuff to cd) and so i thought, 'what am i gonna put on this thing?'
 
i decided to give kubuntu a spin first. i've always just run r.h./fedora and i figured i'll try something new.
 
interestingly enough (and i imagine there's a reason) the ubuntu distros did not show up for me over at linuxiso.org. not sure why.

Slackware

Seriously, it's the only Linux worth running, and as soon as I can afford an AMD64 box I'll be doing a port.

One of the few OSes in the world worth running....

I have never been Slack... but I don't like to work hard. So three years ago I wore a Red Hat. But then it got old and lost its support. Tons of people were trying to get me to go for the Fedora look but I couldn't picture myself looking like Warren Beatty in Dick Tracey. So I decided to go tribal and learn African now all say is Ubuntu... Ubuntu, Ubuntu, Ubuntu.

Ubuntu!
