Linux Chooser

Tuesday, August 30th, 2005

Take a Quick Survey to determine which Linux distribution is right for you. Funny enough my own attempt at the survey went like this:

Your ideal distro is:

  • Built for newer computers
  • Installed with a graphical installer
  • Installed with everything
  • One that detects your hardware for you
  • Packed with only 1 program for each application to save space
  • Full of the latest and greatest features that may take up processing power
  • Binary package based
  • Free from dependancy hell
  • Windows/Macintosh like in GUI Nature

here’s how the distributions in the database match up to your choices:

Distro name Match %
Ubuntu 9/11: 81%
Mandriva 9/11: 81%
Fedora 9/11: 81%
MEPIS 10/11: 90%
SuSe 9/11: 81%
Debian 8/11: 72%
Knoppix 9/11: 81%
Gentoo 7/11: 63%
Slackware 7/11: 63%
Damn Small 8/11: 72%
Arch 7/11: 63%
Vector 8/11: 72%
Beatrix 9/11: 81%
Ark 11/11: 100%
LFS 5/11: 45%
EvilEntity 6/11: 54%

I actually use Ubuntu (and love it) which scored 9/11 of my choices, but Ark linux got all 11! Maybe I should try Ark in my spare time, but I dont think I’ll be leaving Ubuntu anytime soon.

YAMP: Yet Another Redesign

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2005

I’m currently working on the last redesign of my website for 2005. I hope to engage additional technologies such as flash video, the rest of the fresh Macromedia suite, podcasts and CSS. Of course my website will always be a showcase of my ideas and an ongoing experiment as I tinker with various technologies. As per usual the design conception is happening over at pc.robsta.id.au (one of my many spare subdomains). I hope I can put together some effort to finish it before this month is out. sIFR can be a bitch to get working sometimes but!
