Which Linux Distribution is best?!

Printer-friendly version

A Linux "distro", or distribution is a collection of programs and utilities that have been tested to work together.

DSL takes only 50M bytes on a CD or USB key. A full Debian installation can require 20 CDs.

Others specialize in ease of use (Ubuntu), maximum configurability (Gentoo), bleeding edge software versions (Fedora), or stability and long term support (RHEL, CentOS, Debian LTS).

Panel members will discuss different distros, why there are so many of them and things to consider when selecting one.
