Over the past 9 years of working with Linux, I have tried many desktop distos. This has been my overall favorite. I am a Linux/Solaris/Windows system administrator, and I have handled many different server versions of Linux, Solaris and Windows over the years. Started as a programmer in 1985, but on a DEC VAX, under VAX/VMS which later we switched to Ultrix. There was a BBN machine running BSD Unix, and system owner gave me an account on the BBN as a college student, so my intro into *NIX was in 1983.
