Whats your OS?

[FewClues]

I'm a relative newbie to Linux. Started using Red Hat 7.0 and followed it up to 8 then switched to Mandrake 9, 9.1 etc. Now running Mandrake 10.0 on the host, Fedora on 2 laptops, and I change the OS on the lab box every day or two (spidertools makes it easy to own them all).

How do you like mandy 10?

And whats your take on Fedora?

Mandrake 10.0 has really improved their install. Its almost too graphic now with cartoon icons for everything. But it installs quickly and has everything where I'm used to finding it. I really can't feel the difference in the new kernel but then Im not doing anything scientific with it (yet?) so its hard to tell. Its a full system with all the tools and I've never had a seconds worth of problem with it.

I really don't like Fedora all that much - but it installs nicely on a laptop. They've gutted Gnome and KDE and put a little of each up. I have reworked the desktop on both to look a little more like a computer. The wireless adaptation wasn't easy for me - might be for others but I struggled getting it up on the network. Another reason I leave it alone - don't want to go through that again.

Using Slackware since I started, I never "really" tried to switch to any other distro. I'm happy with it. I found it best for learning how things work with automatized stuff but nothing as complicated as a Redhat or Mandrake.

I use Fedora at the moment, also I use SUSE 9.1 Pro, and Knoppix 3.4. I hate some of the quirks of Fedora though...
