Default Debian
Debain is one of the more technical Linux Distros available which is why I like it. What is your favorite distro and why?

Default Re: Debian
I prefer anything Debian-based. The CompuForums/AshServ runs on Dapper 6.06 LTS, and my PBX server runs on Debian 4 Etch. As for on the desktop, I usually use Ubuntu but I am running on Windows at present due to me needing Excel for accounting [and the free stuff just doesn't have the features I need]

Well I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 on my Pc, and Ubuntu 7.10 on my eeepc.
I've tried out many different operating systems, but this one just seems to work for me
