When this thread was first created, I used Windows XP and Windows 7. My taste in operating systems has since expanded. :P

My desktop and laptop both dualboot Fedora and Windows 7 (though the laptop has F15 and the desktop F14).

I also have an old netbook running Windows XP, which I recently installed Fuduntu on as well. (Fuduntu is a Fedora-derivative distro that's optimized for netbooks and laptops).



The userbars in my sig are links embedded links.

And in addition to calculator (and Python!) stuff, I mod Civilization 4 (frequently with Python).

I use Windows 7 (some years ago I used Windows XP), but I've also installed Ubuntu 11 on my notebook.


Sorry for my bad English. I'm German.

I use Ubuntu 10.10 all the time. When 11.10 comes out, I'll test it, but not sure if I'll keep it.

i use ubuntu primarily (although it's appearance has been modified to the point of neither the logo nor the name appearing anywhere. my login screen plays music XD). but boot xp in a virtual box sometimes when wine just can't manage (hardly ever), and have a large collection of live cd's for other operating systems which i boot when not using my machine.

Actually I use Ubuntu 11.04 now.

Perhaps try Ubuntu Netbook Edition so that it is even faster? ;)

I used to have it on my netbook, but I didn't really like it, I like the normal desktop-style more ;)
And after I have upgraded my RAM, the normal Ubuntu is fast enough ;D

Seriously, you condensed all of the BSDs into one "BSD" option?  That's a bit unfair considering there isn't only a "Linux" option for all Linux distros.  Either take out all the distro choices for linux or add boxes for NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSd, and DragonflyBSD.

He also put Arch a Crux together, Ubuntu and it's variants, Debian and it's variants. It's not that big of a deal the BSD variants are all together.

I use Windows 7 and on my old computer I use Windows XP SP2 (SP3 doesn't work properly on it so after trying it I did a system restore, since everything would just freeze all the time).

@Ashbad the original author of this thread isn't around anymore, so I doubt he can fix that. Given that only one single person voted for BSD, I doubt that would matter much, though.

Since my LinuxMint 9 had big problems, I installed the new one (LM11). So now, I'm using Win7 + LM11

Ok, it's a kind of long story how I came to use Ubuntu Netbook 9.10.

I used to have Ubuntu 10.10, but tried installing Vista, which failed horribly. I got a book from the library (Ubuntu up and running) that had a DVD with 5 versions of Ubuntu 9.10 on it (Ubuntu desktop, netbook, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Mythbuntu) I burnt the first four to CDs (used my dad's comp), and since the Vista install failed, I installed the Netbook remix 9.10 on my computer which happens to be a netbook.

I should upgrade.

The moral of this story is to never erase Linux to install Windows. Or install Windows at all. :P
