I am running various flavours of Linux on all the machines, which version depends upon which function each machine is geared toward. Most of the customers I work with are running XP or Vista, though.

Could you rank your flavors in order of most liked to least liked?

It depends upon the useage. On the server/downloading machine I run uberstudent linux for its lightweight default desktop and included programs.

For general usage, widest number of machines it will run on, and stability; Mepis 8.0 for machines with only 512MB of RAM, and Mepis 11.0 for machines with 1GB or more with the default KDE desktop. Also because Mepis is the easiest to configure for networking and file sharing.

For the Apple-users, I recommend Linux Mint with the Gnome or Cinnamon desktop, depending upon their preference.

On the main machines, I am currently running Mint with the KDE desktop for its better video file workabilities, and for future Virtual Machine configs.

On the older vintage 98SE machines I am running Pupppy Linux for its tiny footprint and ability to run on 64 Megs of memory and older CPUs.

I forgot to mention; Kanotix Linux is good as well, jut not as configurable as Mepis Linux for the things I need it to do. As far as stability and widespread usage, however, it is a solid distro also, just not as widely known.

Zorin Linux and Pear Linux are also quite good, if not as stable or configurable as Mepis, and you might wish to take a look at them as well.

Have fun! :)
