PC - the LINUX thread - View Post

I started with Debian quite some years ago but never used it on my main machine. It was just to run an eggdrop bot at first and then some servers I played around with. Dabbled a bit in SuSE (I was living in Germany and that was actually pretty popular there, well at least CS circles), but somehow I liked Debian more.

Started using Ubuntu around its version 7, went back to windows due to problems with overscan issues over HDMI. Went back to Ubuntu 8 when I let the PS3 handle the media server, now I'm on Ubuntu 9.04. Still have my WinXP dual boot but haven't used it much.

Core 2 duo 3Ghz, 3 GB DDR2, old and annoying NVidia 8800GTS. I used not to like laptops but now I'm actually thinking of getting a laptop as my main in a year or two and making this one into a storage/torrent/media server or getting one of those NAS servers.
