vote ubuntu for any other linux distro's

Win7

i have windows 7 also,the only thing i use it for is vegas 9.0 though.

I'd change Ubuntu to 'Any distro of Linux.' There are plenty of people here that use other distros like Arch or Gentoo.

and how do you edit a poll?

6 people have already voted…..
but I think you can edit your first post and maybe change poll options.

nope, cant, already tried.

:p I think it's funny that you chose Ubuntu, Windows, and Mac OS (isn't it OS X?) instead of Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X.

yea, sorry about that, i was thinking more of myself, didnt think about how many ppl use other linux OS's and yes it probably is OS X for mac but i didnt know what the X standed for so i didnt consider it

Fail Windows 7 Ultimate :(. I can't use Ubuntu as my dad doesn't like it/isn't used to it/doesn't know how to use it.

Personally I choose Windows XP. :D windows 7 bleh I will get it in due time I guess.

TinyXP. Sometimes Win7. Rarely Ubuntu.

Windows 7 Ultimate all the way.

Ubuntu but will begin the search for the best distro for winnubs (customers) soon, most likely starting with the recently released LinuxMint9.

You should consider Debian :)

Anyway, Windows 7 Ultimate here :P

Windows Vista for now. Surprised to see not one mac user saw this poll at all. Where's Markus? lol

@ Poll: I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

I personally am using Arch and Gentoo right now! So that fits me into the GNU/Linux group.

win 7 and xp. Have used ubuntu in the past but had too many problems.

Heh they will complain if they can't play their mp3s right away.

I dual boot Ubuntu and Windows 7. I would say I use they both fairly evenly with a slight bias towards ubuntu being considered my "primary" now.

I used to use ubuntu alot but I'm tired of putting up with it's shit. Browsing gets kind of painful when flash apps make your cpu usage go from ~0% to +90%, video card drivers only break shit, my computer is noisy when I use ubuntu and some other random problems that I tried to solve, but after loads of googling I only found some forum posts from 2 years ago that either nobody had replied to or someone had replied something along the lines "hurr i cant help durr". Most of the more recent info just stated "yeah, it might be fixed at some point but nobody really has any idea when, if ever, it'll be fixed".

For now I'll just have to survive not being a part of this SRL ubuntu trend and without the right to be an elitist and insulting all other operating systems and their users and trying to convince them to switch to ubuntu.

Hey, just the fact that I got it working because I can it's possible doesn't automatically mean I'm a mac fag ;) And I was on a vacation.
*still uses Win XP, lol*
