I think most of the group does use Ubuntu but they aren't responding.<BR>

I do think it's interesting that the responses haven't been what I thought they'd be. I assumed we'd be a smaller sample of the population as a whole, but we've had at least as many people answer that their distribution of choice is one outside of the top six, as people inside the top six. I would certainly agree that the diversity is part of the appeal.<BR>

I use Fedora at home and have been using Fedora and Redhat consistently<BR>
for many, many years. It is my personal reference point as to what<BR>
Linux should be and I've been very happy with it.<BR>
<BR>
I'm now using Ubuntu at work for a personal workstation and Redhat<BR>
Enterprise and SuSE among others. Ubuntu is equal to Fedora plus<BR>
slightly easier access to software and settings that make a more<BR>
comfortable personal environment. I'm really enjoying it and I<BR>
appreciate the innovations they've made.<BR>
<BR>
I've always heard about various Linux distributions but have never felt<BR>
they had a compelling reason to leave. Many of us left Slackware way<BR>
back when because Redhat had rpm support and that clearly made the<BR>
distribution better. But without a killer app, I don't see a need to<BR>
try the smaller distributions.<BR>
<BR>
We should all be very thankful that we have so much to choose from and<BR>
can find such rewards in something developed cooperatively and offered<BR>
for free.<BR>
