Finally got organised enough to collate the replies to date. So far I've got 12 here on my UKFSN account (there are a couple more that were sent to my work email a/c and I'll add them in later). So it seems that 8 of the responders used a single distro, 2 of you had 2 distros installed, one had 3 distros installed and one brave soul has 5 distros (counting Knoppix, etc). Most of the responders had at least 2 machines with GNU/Linux running on them, 3 of you had 5 boxen set up and one had 7. Only me and one other person had a single system to play with. Debian seemed to be the most popular distro with the respondents. In all 8 of you said it was your distro of choice. 2 of you preferred Red Hat, one LFS, one Slackware and one Mandrake. Other distros you also use for various reasons are; Red Hat, Slackware, SUSE, Gentoo, OpenZaurus (is this a distro?), Smoothwall, Knoppix and Morphix. 9 respondents have dual boot set-ups with Windows and there were 3 hard core purists who win the RMS award! :o) So in summary based on the limited sample; Debian is the most commonly installed distro, mostly on at least 2 machines and usually dual boot with Windows. Maybe we should have a web page with these figures displayed in some sort of tabular form and also a standing invite for people to email me with their own setups. I could collate them from time to time and update the page. Keith ------------------------- But still, it moves! - Galileo
