Topic: Represent your Distro!

Lifehacker are asking people what the "best" Linux Distro is.

Ubuntu is running away with a victory, but everyone should go have their say!

Gentoo has had a few votes, as has Arch, CrunchBang, Mint and Puppy.

Come on people, lets get #! above all the rest bar Ubuntu!

Maybe he doesn't like the concept of making money by selling productivity tips...
But wait a minute! Would you believe in productivity tips came from people who can't make money with lame/annoying tactics?

Re: Represent your Distro!

I voted Debian.

Without it, hundreds of distributions would not have been created.

Represent your Distro!

No like this.

You are linking to Hurd, which is a kernel project NOT of the Linux kernel, not a distribution.
Debian was working on their own kernel called Hurd, before Linux showed up. Now that the Linux kernel is here, Hurd was no longer needed, but they  still continue development.

Actual name of any distribution would be like Debian GNU/Linux, or even Debian/Ubuntu GNU/Linux, and yes, even Debian/Ubuntu/#!CrunchBang GNU/Linux.
Yes a big title, but it is the true title of this distribution. Any derivative of the parent distribution would also contain the name.
But I do not argue the fact, and allow everyone to mindlessly call every distribution of their choice "Linux", even though they are just mentioning the kernel, and not the actual distribution.

Represent my distro? I do not know what a distro is, but my distribution of choice is Debian, and my kernel of choice is GNU/Linux  2.6.26-1-amd64

twas a joke dude.

HURD will be the future, because FSF/GNU have designed HURD to supercede Linux, Linux just needs to continue it's momentum first.
