[Liverpool] What Linux Flavour do you use?

[Omar Baqueiro]

I dont find any problem on discussing Windows related issues in Linux
user groups, mostly because there are several applciations which are
Open Soruce and run on Windows and as it was said previously, some of
us *must* use windows at one time or another. I found the andLinux
program interesting as I have been looking for an easy way to use KILE
(latex frontent) in Windows, so far the only way was via vmware or
with the outdated Cygwin ( have never been able to make it work).

Of course, I usually use Kile in Linux but there are some times when I
need to do it in Windows (mostly when Linux refuses to use my wireless
network...)

Having said that, my personal feeling is that Windows, Linux and OSX
are just tools and I use them interchangeably. That I prefer Linux is
no news (bash, awk and  all the shell wonders really have made me love
it), but I *must* acknowledge that Windows is also useful in some
cases.
