Because it doesn't make sense not to live on the edge and be using the newest and most awesome stuff!
At least, not until it crashes. But it's usually fixable. I love it here! :D[/QUOTE]
You are a masochist. :v:
I've tried that once a few years ago, and I couldn't take it.

I'm back now after re-installing Fedora, it crashed COMPLETELY shortly after posting that :v:
-snip-
Fedora because it just works.
Arch: it's fun (for me), lightweight, and when something fucks up, I almost always can immediately fix it (because I know the system inside-out).

Gentoo at the moment because I want to learn. Also because Arch doesn't pick up networks or boot correctly on my laptop.

How in the world are you on Fedora 17 when 16's just in alpha?

I don't know. I was using Rawhide (fc16) and somehow could download fc17 packages. So I just updated everything and broke every single package on the system.

They split Rawhide into two. There is current_release+1, and current_release+2.
The +1 repo is kept more stable than the +2.

Doesn't really make sense though. They're both unstable as hell.

Actually, I think they're mostly the same up until like the Alpha or Beta for what will be Fedora 16.
Ubuntu...
Easy mode...
Don't have to use a Windows key.
This is my shitty laptop I'm talking about here.
I could use something that uses less resources but my laziness prevents me from that.

It's actually called [url=http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Rawhide]rawhide[/url] and not Fedora 17. There are two stages in the development of a new Fedora version: initially, all progress just happens in rawhide. When the alpha deadline for the next version happens, the current rawhide branch is branched onto a F(version) branch.
F16 was branched on July 27. This means that there are [url=https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy#Pre_Beta]stricter guidelines[/url] for package updates in place, so the F16 alpha is (theoretically) stabler.
I'm using Fedora Core 15 on my laptop because Windows 7 has no proper ACPI controls for my laptop, I can SSH to do my homework for my C++ class, and Gnome 3 absolutely pisses all over Unity. I've had people think I was running a Hackintosh this shitwas so fluid and awesome.
Also, I prefer Fedora (and for that matter, Red Hat's) package management.
I found F15 crashed a fair amount. Not sure if it was F15 or Gnome 3 that was the cause, though. On Arch at the moment, it has always been the most successful distribution I've used.

I've had F15 on my netbook since it came out, and never had a problem with it. Not any that I didn't make myself anyway :v:

I decided to go for Ubuntu, and realized that its console is perfect for ruby on rails development purposes. So much more convenient than Windows imo.
Thank you everyone.
Only F15 bug I've had was a graphical glitch in Gnome and I have reason to believe it may be a result of my laptop being used on top of a blanket (heating up like a mofo)
ubuntu 10.04 on the linux partition
been thinking about reinstalling a 64 bit version but i dont really feel like going through that whole backup/restore again

This is why you should keep /home on a seperate partition.
Ubuntu, it's ridiculously simple and can play DVD's.
ubuntu 11.10 i've installed every ubuntu release since ever this one isn't going to be any different
Ubuntu 8 on a old pc. I use windows mainly tho.
I use Ubuntu because I got a free disk shipped to me.
I am still testing the distros, my favorites at the time are Fedora 15 and Ubuntu Natty.
I tried openSUSE but it is annoying when trying to install shit on it.

Fedora 15 is my favorite so far as well! I've tried Arch and Gentoo, but both get annoying when you mess something up and have to do the ENTIRE process again.
The only problem is that Fedora took more than one minute to boot here, in the first test I did, while Ubuntu took ~25 seconds, and openSUSE took ~20 seconds.
Also the interface is a bit weird, but it is good.
Yeah, my only real problem with Fedora is the boot time. It runs a ridiculous number of things at boot. I've gotten minimal systems to boot in just under 10 seconds on my netbook, though.
Arch. I like being left to my own devices and the rolling release system is great.
Plus Pacman + AUR + yaourt = Spooge
