Linux Distro's
 

I am going to use a Linux distro in my laptop and was thinking which one to use?

Ubuntu looks boring to me, although it does work ok (have used it on vmware)
PC-BSD looks like it could be a good choice for me


Anyone have any other flavours that they can recommend, and why you would recommend them?

Thanks

Stick to Ubuntu for laptops.
Seems to have the best laptop support (sound, suspend/hibernate, battery monitoring, etc etc)

Definitely go with Ubuntu.

running ubuntu on my laptop and love it....thinking seriously on transitioning my desktop over to it

Try Linux Mint, it's based on Ubuntu but looks and feels much more elegant.

"boring"?

What do you consider exciting in an operating system?

Mepis Linux
Debian based, user friendly, helpful friendly user base and it works. :2 cents:

Cool opinions, I'm looking forward into buying another laptop...and a new operating system

I went with the whole Linux Ubuntu thing a few months ago with an extra laptop I had lying around. Stupid programs that I use didn't work so instead of re-loading XP Professional, I re-load with TinyXP Christmas Edition 2008.

My laptop is blazing fast and all the programs I use work. The WINDOWS folder is only 600mb.

I run Fedora

I have Fedora on my laptop for testing purposes and it works good...
