There are several that are quite good, IMHO.

And ultimately, it depends on what you want, too.

Personally, I've had great experiences with all of the above OSes. While issues do crop up from time to time, it would be unwise to assume that they would not, in the future.

Is it any wonder people think Linux users are a bunch of flaming homosexuals when its fronted by obviously gay losers like these?! BSD has a mascot who leaves us in no doubt that this is the OS for real men! If Linux had more hot chicks and gorgeous babes then maybe it would be able to compete with BSD! Hell this girl should be a model!

Linux is a joke as long as it continues to lack sexy girls like her! I mean just look at this girl! Doesn't she excite you? I know this little hottie puts me in need of a cold shower! This guy looks like he is about to cream his pants standing next to such a fox. As you can see, no man can resist this sexy little minx. Don't you wish the guy in this pic was you? Are you telling me you wouldn't like to get your hands on this ass?! Wouldn't this just make your Christmas?! Yes doctor, this uber babe definitely gets my pulse racing! Oh how I envy the lucky girl in this shot! Linux has nothing that can possibly compete. Come on, you must admit she is better than an overweight penguin or a gay looking goat! Wouldn't this be more liklely to influence your choice of OS?

With sexy chicks like the lovely Ceren you could have people queuing up to buy open source products. Could you really refuse to buy a copy of BSD if she told you to? Personally I know I would give my right arm to get this close to such a divine beauty!

Linux is NOT given away. I work for a hospital and we're having to PURCHASE a Linux server license.

Ooh look, Linux being given away.

I assume you've been conned into buying an SCO license...

you won't find an MP3 player in Debain main

You sir are wrong.

Debian includes several MP3 players, but no MP3 *encoders*. To rip to MP3 on Debian, you must download the sources and compile the ripper yourself.

I hope that this makes it into the Helix Player, which has RPMs (convertable to debs via alien).

Re:Debian recommend by falkryn · 2005-01-23 15:45 · Score: 1, Offtopic · on Through The Steve Ballmer Looking Glass

To continue the offtopicedness of this, make sure that if one is going to start with Debian (and I'd second that, so long as your willing to take the time to learn), grab the sarge installer. Telling a newb to start with Woodie would not be the best and brightest idea. However with the way the Sarge installer turned out, it would get my recommendation.

http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/

Don't want to go too deep into this right now, but with Debian, you'll get a great package manager with easy updating, and a vaste array of packages, a system that actually works quite well and is subject to fairly thorough bug purging, runs on lighter resources than a number of other distros, and plus, perhaps most importantly, is free both in cost, and in ideology. They're not trying to sell you something, just the notion of freedom :-)
