    Pure Debian, for those who just wants the job done.

    OpenSUSE for the full desktop experience.

    Atm, I'm pretty happy with Crunchbang. Not as snappy as Slackware based distros but it's stable.
    Doing my exams these days so can't risk anything.

    I do this. Since I'm also watching Walking Dead and Mad Men (and thinking of Boardwalk Empire), it works.

    People wanted better lives in 1930s Germany. That doesn't mean they wanted fascism.

    We who know the technical details have a responsibility to educate those who do not. Choosing a "walled garden" will always be a matter of lacking info and insight.

  21. What I tell the GF on Ask Slashdot: Holding ISPs Accountable For Contracted DSL Bandwidth · · Score: 1

    When GF complains about download speed, and I'm not doing anything,I say: " Right-click and select Ask for more peers."
    Instant satisfaction guaranteed.

    On-topic however,I had this problem with the upload speed on a coaxial modem recently. It went from 0.9Mbit/s to the 5 I pay for just by reconnecting all the cheap cables. Making new ones on the to-do.

    Also had a download speed issue. I took several traceroutes over a period of time 1-2 weeks, and the ISP discovered a server in Amsterdam with some clock/scheduling issues. Problem solved!

    But where do you live?Many but not all countries have bodies that take care of disputes. 27 of 30 advertised is pretty good though.
