    Default What Linux Should You Get?

    I found a neat quiz that can reccomend a Linux distribution... It's really quite cool: http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/index.php

    It reccomends Debian for my needs and knowledge... Tis a shame that debian is so darn huge.

    FreeBSD, smart test.

    In all honesty, it had some strange questions. Like asking me about portage. If I already know about Gentoo why would I need it to suggest it to me?

    awesome it recommended either gentoo or slackware. good thing since i already use gentoo. have not tried slackware yet, but you never know...

    i agree with xaenn. that one question really slants the outcome i think.

    edit: i retook the test and it is kind of bs. the questions are too generic. it should just say here is a list and maybe rate the releases as to how hard they are to install and use.

    also, why would you pay for a linux distro? isnt that one of the "selling points"?
