Prior to this entire discussion I was planning to move completely to BSD, I actually downloaded GhostBSD since its native Gnome based desktop.Wash, thank you throwing a spanner in the works.
Anyway I will still try it out.Lusiola BrianOn Sat, Apr 16, 2011 at 8:25 AM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com> wrote:
John,
I still run BSD, but I have this extra laptop which I did not want to run either Windows or PC-BSD so I decided Linux would be a good deal. However, there are so many Linuxes suitable for Desktop environments that I just wasn't sure which one was the best (or rather would satisfy my Unix needs while also giving me a functional Desktop). I am happy to say MINT fitted this bill so well. Wacha kusema this debate was a waste. Imenisaidia sana. I did not even know about the existence of MINT in the first place:)
I am not a happy MINT user. I don't even carry/touch my PC-BSD/Windows laptops anymore since these guys let me know about MINT.--On Sat, Apr 16, 2011 at 07:35, John Gitau <jgitau@gmail.com> wrote:
Im throwing mine in the ring too:-) cisco IOS....well since everyone
is throwing in theirs now:-) You are leaving BSD why? after
converting me to it?
I am currently running ubuntu 10.10 for my tiny tiny notebook. Other
than that I still insist on BSD (most of my work is still on
cli).........of late i also have a test desktop running Redhat EL.
On the other hand, this debate wouldnt feel soo wasted if we were
dealing with an actual noob. I know for a fact Wash can test them all
and tell us why he picks the one he finally goes with.....
