OK here's my 2 p'th : Work : RedHat6.2 as an intranet Server ... OK - easy config for things like printing, display and sound - the good side of RedHat. Slackware leaned-up with custom (non-modular) 2.4.4 kernel as a firewall (Could have been anything). Cobalt Linux (not a true distro I suppose - redhat 6.2 based methinks)
Home : Debian Potato (Desktop - nee RedHat 6.2)... still scratching my head with it, but its getting there. I Love apt!!! but (for now at least - because I can't get it to work properly) I hate debian's way of building kernels, why not the same as everyone else? and is fakeroot a security hole ??
Cheers Earl

Hi all,
There's been some coverage recently [1] about the relative popularity of different distributions and hardware platforms. I just thought it would be kinda interesting before the next meeting (which I should be at) to see who uses what?
I'll start the ball rolling: 6 Debian Intel (all manner of junk from 486 to P3) and 1 Debian Alpha.
Andrew.
