[Jayme]

Im not 1337 enough to use Linux, on the serious side - i havn't realy been tempted to change to Linux, plus i wouldn't know how it all works etc.

[cocaine]

i know about as much as linux as i do about the sweat on a monkeys foot.

[Stephen]

I'm using KDE at the moment, though i'm having trouble installing my video card drivers. I can't really apreciate it whilst running at such a low resolution.

[Digital]

PCLinux ftw

[Stephen]

Lols you are teaching me everything to evolve to a higher plain of existance. Keep teaching me and you'll soon reach enlightenment.

[jarhead!]

I kind of use Ubuntu, but really, I hate it, not very good, I think it's the same as windows but can't run .exe's

For Desktop/Home Use - Only when I need to test out Linux based software or sometimes randomly using it but I don't use Linux allot for desktop use and if I do I use Ubuntu/Damn Small Linux.

For Server/Management Use - Yes, very regularly and I much prefer Linux for them jobs and I have a minimal Windows server knowledge whereas I have allot more knowledge in Linux servers and know with most things what I'm doing. On servers I use mainly CentOS and other distributions sometimes but as I said generally CentOS.

Also I've said this more than once to people just to clarify...

Linux doesn't run .exe's as .exe is a WINDOWS based file format.

*waits for kwebdev to compile from source*

[darkchicken101]

I don't use Linux.

[Splinter]

I actually use full linux. I use PCLinuxOS which is based on Mandriva with a KDE desktop environment simply because it worked great with my wireless card. In the future I want to move onto a bigger distro i.e. fedora, suse etc but I want to get a desktop first.

Linux can run Windows applications if you install WINE (WINE Is Not an Emulator).

I dabble with Linux every so often, but normally when I do, I use Ubuntu, which natively uses Gnome.

[Leeroy]

Hmm im not useing it just YET but more than likely to be soon :D

[Jamesy]

i use it on my ps3, Yellow dog Linux. I was using Gnome but thats messed up. I use E17 on Bling theme. shinyyyyyyyyyy.

[Shawnstra]

[Rix]
