I have switched back to being a Mac user, but for a few years I was a
Linux
user, running first
Red Hat and then
Mandrake on my old Compaq. Now that
Mac OSX is
UNIX-based, I think I'll stay with this
platform. But I still support
Linux in my heart
:) (well and at work of course - physicists always use
Linux - acutally I'm using a PowerBook at work these days, but I still do most of the work on Red Hat Scientific Linux workstations thru SSH).

linux.org - everything you need to know about LINUX |

Mandrake - I used to run this a few years ago
UPDATE: Mandrake has merged with Conectiva and is now known as Mandriva ... I think it's still a great distro, and i seems to be building up momentum, but I have not personally used it since the merger. Anyway, take a look at other distros, such as Ubuntu Linux, as well. Check out Distrowatch for a complete list of Linux distributions with ratings and reviews. |
