None yet. But by freaky coincidence I've been planning to try it out recently now that I've heard that v11 is out.

I'll let you know what I thought once I've bought a new hdd and tried it out (no space left :P).

I tried Ubuntu recently...had it on my machine for about 1hr before it pissed me off and I wiped it.
I used to be a Mandrake user until they changed the name to make it sound like a gay sex toy (honestly...Mandriva...what were they thinking?)

I've kinda spoiled other versions for myself by doing quite a few Gentoo installs. Once I got the gist of it I found I get frustrated by other distros.

I like to carry a live CD of Knoppix with me though, it's come in handy on more that one occasion.

Cheers, now you've edited it makes me look totally off topic...lol

I recently had Kubuntu. I am going to KILL that sucker. I despise its prettiness with lack of functionality. I keep on going tback to FC6. The only problem is that FC6 doesn't have the latest firefox version in the repositories. I don't mean that they're on 2.0.0.2. I mean they're on 1.5.10. I also don't like yum all that much. apt is a much better update client.

Haha, I too had Ubuntu for about an hour. I quickly found myself pretty pissed that I had wiped out Slackware to check it out. I burned some Mandriva disks, but haven't had the heart to try it (thanks to such a lame Kub experience). .. Gentoo's currently the only distro that's peaked my interest enough to consider wiping out my Slackware again. I'm thinking I won't though; I like Slack.

I had Kubuntu and had no problems with it. I am however more of a novice Linux user, so it doing everything for me was a relief.

I've been spoiled by the GUI installs of Red Hat/Fedora and Ubuntu.

I need to leave XP on the system for work, so I don't have the disk space to load a second distro. So, I just wipe it out and reinstall every time. :D

Get a bigger hard disk. If you don't have enough money, write it off on your taxes as a business expense.

Nah, I don't really care that much ... I'm picking up a MacBook Pro in a couple weeks, so I'll just dual boot XP off that, and then wipe it off my Dell ...

The last one is my current desktop.

The other two were desktop shots from Friday and five minutes ago, respectively.

Bam. It takes me a while to change this, and points for whoever knows where I got the picture.
