Windows ME, possibly the worst thing I've ever dealth with on a computer. The parents won't let me put a different OS on our family computer, and it's still some months till I can get my own, so I'm stuck.

Since it's introduction in 1991, Linux has been altered,adapted, and improved by hundreds of programmers, the thing I love about it is that it's source of code remains open to cats like me. So if don't use it don't, and if you do, thank that sweedish guy Linus Torvalds.....

I felt the same way about Red Hat. The dependency issues were nightmares with the RPMs especially if your system was not the most recent. I had similar troubles with Debian with one example where I attempted to remove some gnome component and it listed my kernel along with the packages it would remove.
I've been running Gentoo for the past couple of years; since the 2.2 kernel tree, I think, since I can remember going to 2.4 on this system. Not sure what "version" the base install could have been, though.
For my desktop machines I use Fluxbox as the Window Manager. I've used various ones in the past such as Enlightenment, IceWM, Sawfish w/ Gnome, KDE but have pretty much settled on this one. |
