Maybe have Ubuntu + dereviaties all together (Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, NBR)

Mint
Debian
Fedora
CentOS
Red Hat Enterprise Linux
SUSE Linux Enterprise (Server or Desktop)
OpenSUSE
Gentoo
Mandriva
Arch Linux/Chakra/Frugalware (Pacman based)
Slackware
Sabayon
Sidux
PCLinuxOS
Puppy
MEPIS
BSD Derivative (FreeBSD, PC-BSD etc.)
Crunchbang
Solaris/opensolaris

My list is 20!!!!! gogogo burnsy!!!!

EDITED!!!! We all missed Solaris/opensolaris lolz

Ditch Chakra and Frugalware - besides pacman is the package manager, distro isn't build around it. If that were the case we would lump Mandriva, RH, OS, SUSE, Fedora etc. all into one category. Also ditch Solaris.

That makes sense. I mean, there can't be THAT many SPARC users here right? [OCD]The list needs alphabetising[/OCD]

Solaris isn't Open Source.

It's still suited to this forum though, and a potential choice of OS (however unlikely it may be...).

This is the "Linux & Open Source" forum?! OpenSolaris just about qualifies though

Fair point, I vote a forum rename to "*nix & Open Source" then

I suppose OpenSolaris is the much more likely occurrence.

Arch Linux
BSD Derivative (FreeBSD, PC-BSD etc.)
CentOS

Mandriva
MEPIS
Mint
OpenSUSE
OTHER
PCLinuxOS

Oxy i like your new signature!

Plus a new poll sounds fun as the old one was a bit confused and dead after 4 years.... (plus it gives me a chance to have another go at linux over the next few months)

craptakular · 12 Aug 2010 at 14:38

Apopcalyptic · 12 Aug 2010 at 14:50

Just remember that you can't have a poll on OcUK without 'pancake' of late...
