Ack, I really have to be more careful

I don't like one of the questions. It asks you what your technical expertise is, and I'm sure uses that to decide which distro. While I may have a lot of technical expertise, I do not like to have to use it when installing and using an OS.

Things should just work.

The site picked Gentoo and Slackware for me. I've actually used both. I don't think I'd ever use Gentoo again though, just don't have the time for it. Slackware is my favorite distro. So all in all, pretty good guesswork on the part of whoever made that quiz.

For a no0b like me it recommended Ubuntu (already installed) and Mandriva.

Tried the Mandriva Live CD and didn't find it to be as user-friendly as Ubuntu.

Been using BSD servers, but needed an Exchange type app which will only run on a linux distro. Had trouble with it on Debian, but got it to start the install on Fedora 4. Then, I found out the hardware was inadequate (RAM). This was only a testing server so I need to get another piece of hardware.

Fedora 4 worked out of the box easier and better than any *nix variant I've used. For the most part, the directory structures make more sense as well.

I am very much a Fedora person and it picked Fedora for me - the web pages for the test were slick and worked flawlessly. Nice site.

Didn't mention MEPIS, which is my flavor du jour. But it did bring up Ubuntu, which MEPIS gets along (and shares repos) with.

I've been very happy with SuSE 10.1.

Typical from you, some foreign site pushing foreign versions of lunix.

It picked Fedora for me, even though I'm a Debian user.

What's really funny though? It recommended against Debian because my computer is old. Do the people running that site know anything about Debian?

Results of a comparison made this morning on an old AMD K-7 CPU machine running both Win 98 & Ubuntu Linux.

Tells me everything I need to know.

I have Elive and slax on discs and it works when I boot from them. And I also found Damn Small Linux which I can't seem to get it to work.

Can you give me any advice on how to take these different OS and put them to a bootable drive?
