What Linux Are You? - ralgith - 12-22-2010
Take this quiz.
Post your results.
I took it twice.
Less Picky Choices Results:
- Fedora (Sometimes I use when I need a totally free version)
- Mandriva (What I normally use, only I use the pay for version)
- OpenSUSE
More Picky Choices Results:
- Mandriva (What I normally use, only I use the pay for version)
- Fedora (Sometimes I use when I need a totally free version)
- OpenSUSE
So, from my personal results it seems pretty accurate.

Ubuntu is a free, open source operating system that starts with the breadth of Debian and adds regular releases (every six months), a clear focus on the user and usability (it should "Just Work", TM) and a commitment to security updates with 18 months of support for every release. Ubuntu ships with the latest Gnome release as well as a selection of server and desktop software that makes for a comfortable desktop experience off a single installation CD.

You mean you'd have 3 good choices in Mandriva, OpenSUSE, and LinuxMint.

It isn't prejudice, its that all Ubuntu based distros are using old software and are full of security risks. They suck for that reason and that reason alone. When you're using a kernel that is 4 or 5 revisions out of date, a version of Apache (the web server software) that has a known security flaw, and other such things, then anyone with a brain is going to say you suck
