Most of my exploring of distros occurred when I started using Linux. Ubuntu gives most people what they need, so they don't look any further.<br><br>I expected a few Fedoras in the survey.

Or disillusioned with the leadership?<br><br>I do have Ubuntu on one computer but I will probably replace it with Arch Linux. Arch requires more initial work than many other distros, and adding some packages might require just a bit more work because Arch uses a ports-like system for a lot of packages.<br></div></body></html>
