Which Linux Flavor?

[flangust]

I've heard that a lot of companies use Linux, I was just curious who uses what distro?

[VFXTalkDotCom]

fedora core rules!

[flangust]

Yeah that's what I'm running. I haven't upgraded to 6 yet, or gotten my wacom to work but I still like it.

[Raylistic]

suse rocks!!

[DavidW]

Yeah, Fedora for sure! Use Core 4 at home, and soon Core 5 at work.

[Varun]

Suse!

smooth~

[A_Shaw]

None of the above! Arch Linux!

I use Fedora at school and Suse at home, I like both.

Question: I'm sticking with XP for the time being but am interested in the feasibility of Linux for a complete anti-scripter like myself. Are things like dual monitor support and raid arrays easy to setup under Linux? By easy I mean no coding or scripting whatsoever.

[flangust]

I would suggest going to the distro's forums and reading what kinds of problems people have and what solutions are found. I use Fedora 6 and have neither Dual monitors or Raid so I can't tell you if there's problems with them, but you could check out Fedora Forums.
I've found found that getting pretty much anything to work at it's best you have to do a little tweaking of config files and what not.
Anyway good luck.

Im using (read learning) Suse Everything works like a charm. Except my graphic card. Damn i need to fix that.
By the way. Im using Dual monitors. And i didnt need to script anything. Suse found them automaticly. Actually. It found and installed everything automaticly (Except my gfx card that is)

Feels a tad lonley beeing the only deb-head in here. =/ Strange that not more of you prefer the all mighty superior Debian. =))

Acctually, if Maya, Shake, Nuke etc ran good on FreeBSD I would prefer that. =) FBSD just kicks aaaarse.

This could pretty quickly turn into a nasty religious war like Mac vs PC.

Well I'm one of the 5 Ubuntu guys so I'm a half deb-head
