I would probably be using either SuSE or Ubuntu; most likely the former.
But I'm just grateful for Kanotix. (That's not to say I won't be trying out other distributions in the future) |

If it weren't for Kanotix, I would still be wishing my SuSE / Ubuntu / Mandriva install would allow me some wiggle room with new software. I don't know how to describe it, but I never felt on the cutting edge with the default program installs. Heck, Ubuntu 5.10 users are still on FireFox 1.0.7!
As for what if Kanotix wasn't here ( perish the thought! ), I would definetly be with Debian Sid or Etch ... maybe give Gentoo a shot through the R4 Linux project. Who knows! |

No Kanotix?  that's a tough one. I agree with piper on mz's e17 distro but that is kanotix based so doesn't count. Knoppix was ok until after 3.7, then it started annoying me. I liked Elive Cd but don't know about that one for a desktop install. I would probaly go with some other debian install, I've really grown to like it. |

I seen Kanotix in a mepis forum when ubunto was mentioned,I tried it ,Ditched mepis/ubunto and even debian on my main machine in favour of kanotix,It is a best kept secret and needs some advertising,Its that good,I have done about 30 installs ,It has replaced mepis on all my friends machines and are yet to hear a complaint,  My 2nd choice would be pclinuxos especially for new users,As for Ubunto i feel that shuttleworth has a hidden agenda $$$$$$ . |

Have to admit that..
Gentoo is my #1 - with its great package manager, and easily understood init system 
Poormans install of the Kanotix CeBIT LiveCD is my #2.
Kanotix is so much more reliable than other distros at finding my hardware ...now if only the internal sound card and USB phone came up in the same order on every boot, it would be perfect
Next to sort out is 'tvtime', so I can route my DAB radio through the tv card's stereo input..
thanks for a great distro & and a very helpful forum!
Mvh
Edit: I'm adding a number 3 - Slax 5.1.0 LiveCD - its Poorman's install toram is amazingly fast, its saving is safe, and the simplicity of adding modules makes it fun. |

Without a doubt..pclinuxos...I have used many distros in the past 10 years
and pclinuxos is the only one where everything works out of the box
without any file editing at all...Even vids play first time... |

I thrashed my kanotix installation on wednesday night so before I restore it, I've decided to check out pclinuxos. It's been on my machine sice November but I haven't really looked at it until now. Seems really nice. I like the menu structure and there is a great selection of mulitmedia software out of the box. No open office though and a few other things are missing. I use KDE with a handful of gnome apps. Since this distro is very geared towards KDE, some of the gnome apps I use are missing or very old. I think I'll continue to use it for a week or so or until the kanotix 2006 final is released. |

I use Gentoo on my lap, for daily use and experiments, the best IMHO
Sarge on my fileserver, the best for this job
Ubuntu on my sister's desk, the best for her, i thought
Kanotix on my mediaserver ... it was the first distro that worked and will stay forever in my heart ... without it, thanks god not, still i would be using, devils best ... btw, Gentoo and Debian [...] are the only two, that i would recommend, if somebody would ask me |

Yes, PCLinuxOS is a great alternative. The only thing that really lets it down is the slow package updates. Unlike Kanotix and Debian packages, Texstar has to create new RPM's from Mandriva for his repositories. Inevitably this will slow things down somewhat. 
Although some inter-mixing of packages is no doubt possible it would be similar to mixing Debian and Ubuntu. You take your chances... |

We run Live and only Live, and in the future will only consider running Live. IMO, the future for "typical" desktop users will be Live Linux running from USB flash pens (with write protect switch).
1st Place = KANOTIX! The people who put together and support this distro are in a class by themselves with respect to general Desktop needs. This conclusion is not an exageration. It is based upon many hours of experience with several live distros on several PCs by several non-tech ex-Windows users.
In other words, several experienced desktop users with widely differing frames of reference, who can not agree upon how the answering machine should say "please leave a message", all agree that KANOTIX is the preferred desktop OS.
2nd place = Knoppix & PCLOS. Both are excellent. However, given our preferences, as well as our particular crossection of hardware and limited technical abilities, these two suffer from multiple problems.
Soon all three distros will be issuing new releases. In the past, Kano and his team have repeatedly demonstrated more savvy then the others. What will happen as we enter the era of $100 computers? What will happen now that the paths advocated by Linux techies and desktop users are more widely separated? My presumption is that KANOTIX will continue to find the best compromise. |

| Morphix, Mepis, Yoper, Frugalware, Debian Sid - who knows Some time ago I thought I maybe would use Kubuntu - but it is so crippled... Yoper and Frugalware really look promising but they don't use .deb... |

Well, in another life (this life is occupied with Kanotix already ) I would use Debian without the help of Kano and all the genius hackers here. And I would fight every day with initial configuration, hardware detection and packaging errors. I would definitely miss the competent, friendly and intelligent community here ....
No way! I even can't imagine to use Linux without Kanotix any more!
Greetings,
Chris |

Kanotix forever.
Would I use one of the other Debian based distros probably not. The Debian netinstall of Etch is quite painfree and simple.
So I would either use that or as I do now PCLinuxOS. Its just different enough with the rpm flavor to make it interesting to use.
I use Kanotix on my laptop and Kanotix, PCLinuxOS , and (I cant believe I am gonna say this) WinXP. |

I use Kanotix on my laptop and Kanotix, PCLinuxOS , and (I cant believe I am gonna say this) WinXP.
Two questions, both having the words "why" in them....
1 ) Why cant you believe you are using WinXP?
and,
2 ) Why are you using WinXP?
I am intrigued when people are "ashamed", or feel "bad", when they have to report they are using WinXP? My guess is, that, something you do, or use, is not provided in Linux. Or, if the system is used for work, there work environment, "forces" them to use something other than Linux.
Why would that be something that "you" would feel "bad" about? I work in a place where I have no control over what is on the systems we use, and they use WinXP. A few of my co-workers are beside me, because we both, frown upon the "reasons" the company uses this OS, and nothing they do, in that company, requires that WinXP be used. i.e. no special programs, software, or even hardware, "forces" them to be using that OS, instead of something more stable, robust, and secure as a Linux Distro.
A few of my co-workers also run versions of Linux, on there own "home" systems, one guy uses Mandrake 10. We sometimes compare notes on our operating systems... Not quite sure if he is ever going to "convert" me away from Kanotix, but, I think I have a good chance of converting him over to Kanotix, though 
So, craigevil, do you have a choice of using WinXP, or are you "forced" to use it? I have talked to a few people who still have a M$ OS installed, and most of the time, they are "forced" to use it, either for the support of hardware, or the software, it provides, thats all... Many of them, would "ditch" the OS if they could, but, nothing can be found in the Linux Distros that will replace it... Thats all...
Chin up, though, I am sure, someday, the path between Linux and M$ OS's will be a lot closer |

Only use XP when the kids want to play a couple of the Jumpstart games and for the homeschool program we use.
Tried wine , cedega and crossover so far none of them will run all of the apps.
I only gets booted about once a week.
Linux has been my OS of choice for over two years now thanks to Kanotix. If it wasn't for the kids stuff we would be completely microsoft free, |
