Began with Ubuntu, moved on to Xubuntu on powerful comps and Puppy for low end comps / USB install. I've found Puppy is much better than DSL for usability and setup.[*]What distro(s) do you use??
Fixed, I don't update that much as well.[*]Rolling or Fixed release??
Graphical, I'm still new to Linux so command line confuses me.[*]Do you use a Graphical Login or command line (run level 3 or 5)??
Xfce is what I usually use, still packs plenty of features with a small footprint.[*]What Desktop Environment and or Window Manager do you use?? (ex. Gnome, KDE, Xfce, etc...)
Opera, can't stand failfox (too much like IE, cbf finding/configuring addons).[*]What Web Browser(s) do you use??
I usually have just 2, but coming from windows I almost never use the second.[*]Do you run multiple Desktops?? If so how many?? (ex. 4 is the normal default)
Whatever text editor comes with the distro![*]What editor do you prefer?? (ex. GEdit, Emacs, Vi/Vim, Mousepad, etc...)
Never got into servers, so I haven't a clue.[*]What if any servers (services) do you run?? (ex. Samba, Apache, Telnet, etc..)
GUI definitely, I don't have the time to learn all the commands and shortcuts to make CLI more efficient than GUI.[*]Do you prefer the Command Line or GUI for most tasks??
Uuuuuh.... what?[*]If you use a shell(s), which is/are your favorite(s)?? (ex. Bash, ksh, tclsh, zsh, etc...)
Nope, haven't heard of it.[*]Do you use cron/crontab??
Personally I don't use Linux that much, but I used to use it quite a bit when I had my P4 desktop and old Dell laptop (PIII 850 MHz), ended up getting sick of Ubuntu (XP and Windows 7 was faster) so I switched to something fast. I've had a lapse from Linux usage with my new laptop and desktop, but I'm probably going to dual boot on my laptop with something really fast for web browsing, listening to music and checking emails.
Any suggestions for what I could put on my laptop that wouldn't break my windows installation?
