[Colchester] Whos using what?

[David Lee]

it's a p4 2.4ghz so should be alright for gentoo then.  just had a look at gentoo.org and realised that I recognised it.. I do remember going through a gentoo install on a machine I was playing with at work but didn't get much use out of it as I had to use it for other things.
 
still, I like the idea of the debian based ones as I've found apt really handy for installing stuff.... although I should really get my head around compiling things and dependancies and the like
 
Just out of interest, do you guys use Linux much at work or just at home.  The servers I manage are all but one running Windows Server...

well david, i would reccomend arch if your desktop is i686 (which it
probably is), or gentoo if it is faster than 1.5 Ghz, gentoo is a
compile everything distro, but i can help with the install (over SSH)

I'm still a bit of a newbie and a bit scared of using linux full time on the desktop.  installed debian mainly because of apt (as I've never got on with compiling progs from scratch) but I understand debian is very conversative with what it includes for stability reasons, i.e. i understand the x server that comes with it is pretty old, etc. I install x.org instead but wonder if there is lots of other stuff that could be upgraded.  perhaps I should go for something other than debian for a desktop...
