it depends which machine you are talking about really; at work it is XP (ick!), on my laptop it is Bianca Beta 014, on my main machine at home it is XP (waiting til Bianca Final to upgrade it) and on my testing box it is Bianca Beta 014.

Dual boot Bea :D and Windows XP :shock: for my home machine. I have Bea working properly for now, so I'm just waiting for Bianca to become final before I upgrade. Although i do have an itchy finger to install the beta.

OSX for my laptop. Work is Windows XP...

I guess you can say I'm an OS whore... :twisted:

openSUSE and PCLOS right now. When Bianca goes gold, I will attempt to install it again (due to installation problems mentioned in another thread). I will have to redo my drive again in any case.

I currently have Bianca running on 2 machines. Recently, I reinstalled Ubuntu on one of the machines, went through 136 upgrades, in order to do a side-by-side comparison with Mint. That lasted about a day before I realized I didn't like the look and feel of Ubuntu, so I reinstalled Bianca.

There is no doubt that Ubuntu has set the bar for Linux Distros. Just look at the spin offs, Mint, Mepis, and now even Linspire to name a few; who can say what distro will be next. Canonical should be applauded for what it has done, not only for itself, but for the Linux community as well. But for me, at least for now, I'm sticking with Mint.

Clem, you and your associates have done a hell of a job here. I can hardly wait for the final release of Bianca.

Hello all fellow Minties,
Perhaps it would be interesting to post a link to our desktops in this topic.
And then take a poll for the most popular one.

So here is a link to my desktop. Care to vote?

1 x Mint "Barbara"
1 x Ubuntu 6.10
1 x SuSE Linux Professional 10
2 x OpenSUSE 10.2
1 x Windows XP locked away into a virtual machine

That Ubuntu installation up there will soon have to go away to make room for my FreeBSD experiments :wink:

The default way of picking an app from the menu shows too many apps, and that's confusing to new users. Still evaluating this system, but I put it on hold when I became minty fresh.
What you need there is the "smart" package manager. Search the web for "suse smart channel" or "smart channels" and add those to your "smart" config. If you know your ways around that it will give multimedia and everything within 15 minutes after the installation. And having a lot of choice is always a good thing :wink:

Aopen Laptop Ubuntu 6.10 but will to Bianca when it settles

On my external drive:

Etch is my primary distro, but I use Bea frequently. (I also play with sidux which has its toes hanging over the edge.)
