Desktop Distro 2007
This a 2007 poll of people's favorite Linux desktop distro, because the list of top distros changes year to year. This new poll should provide more up-to-date information on what people are using. I have selected the current top ~15 from distrowatch.com (including FreeBSD). If a favorite has been overlooked, let us know.
The previous 2003-2006 poll is here.

Ubuntu. Cleanly done, user-friendly, with the command-line environment people like me can turn to for package management. Based on a debian underbelly so damn stable and easy to find packages for in the repositories. Performing a full dsitribution upgrade never takes more than an hour, most of which time is downloading packages.

Updating from dapper to edgy, my (k)ubutu crapped out. X wouldn't start after updating. I'd start it manually, but it would crash in about two minutes. I had to do a fresh install. Even though I could've scoured the forums and fixed my problem, I just couldn't be bothered...d11wtq wrote:Ubuntu.

After so many problems getting Ubuntu Edgy 64bit to cooperate, I got 32bit Feisty installed and working, so I had to come on here and brag about it. Got both of my monitors working, my five button mouse working, beryl/emerald installed (verrrry cool), eclipse installed... I'm so proud of myself
. Everything's lovely, and I'm officially a linux convert... already sent Bill the pink slip
