The Linux distribution test
October 27th, 2006 by Anders Kringstad

Today I happened to stumble upon yet another of those tests that allow you to see what kind of Linux-distribution you *should* run. Really! The last time I did one of these I ended up with RedHat Enterprise Linux, so maybe this time I’d get something I’m more likely to use? Sure thing!

From the test:

We found the following perfect match(es):

Ubuntu

Homepage: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/

Ubuntu
is a free, open source operating system that starts with the breadth of
Debian and adds regular releases (every six months), a clear focus on
the user and usability (it should "Just Work", TM) and a commitment to
security updates with 18 months of support for every release. Ubuntu
ships with the latest Gnome release as well as a selection of server
and desktop software that makes for a comfortable desktop experience
off a single installation CD.


(This distribution also has a "Live CD" you can use to test the distribution before you install it)

That’s all fine with me since I run Ubuntu on my laptop, my workstation, three of my NetCore-servers (of the four others three others run Gentoo and one is still on good old Slackware), a heap of servers at work and I generally push Ubuntu on everyone + their dog and grandmother these days.

Good call. 17 simple questions to answer, and you’ll end up with something you might like. Try it yourself!
