After about 20 months, I think Poll IV has done it's finest, so here's a nice fresh new version.

Cast your votes in "The Great OcUK Distro/Derivative Poll V"

AJUK · 6 Jun 2006 at 14:42

Can I have two votes please, I want to vote for Ubuntu and Mac OS X.

Berserker · 6 Jun 2006 at 15:28

It's a multiple choice poll. Knock yourself out.

AJUK · 6 Jun 2006 at 15:41

Won't let me.

Berserker · 6 Jun 2006 at 15:57

Which options have you already voted for? Let me know and I'll fettle with it.

Beansprout · 6 Jun 2006 at 15:58

Fedora and Knoppix for servers and recovery CDs respectively :cool:

AJUK · 6 Jun 2006 at 16:02

I voted Ubuntu but I want to vote Mac OS X as well.

Many thanks.

Berserker · 6 Jun 2006 at 16:27

+1'd OS X.

Ubuntu vote here. I've tried RedHat and Fedora in the past but just didn't get on as well them.

I like ubuntu's wiki as well which has probably helped my learning process.

Gentoo for me

Mark JB · 21 Jun 2006 at 23:57

Once you Xgl you won't go back.

EKsparky · 14 Jul 2006 at 13:36

MikeTimbers · 15 Aug 2006 at 22:12

Can I be awkward and specify Solaris?

And as a second choice, SCO Xenix (I became a qualified SCO Xenix Engineer in 1989

)

soleside · 22 Aug 2006 at 15:37

you icon junkie

only kidding

Do you need a beefy gfx card for it I was thinking of moving my suse box to FC5 or Open SUSE 10.1. I have a 128MB GF3

Well. I tried Ubuntu and found it rather difficult / impossible to get the LAN setup with the other Win XP computers. I have now installed Fedora and most of the work was done for me on install. I've got a lot to learn but it looks good so far.

Oh, I've install fedora 4 so am hoping that Fedora 6 will be even better.
