Just after the emergence of Linux as the god of Freedom in 1991 we saw the existence of many of its angels also know as Flavors or Distros. The list of distros is so Huge that it wont be able to fit on this page and its not possible to detail each here,its mainly because Linux is so customizable.Its very easy to make a distro of your own and that’s the main reason for so many distros.Many a times the question arises which distro should i use? And there is no fixed answer for it. Its just a matter of choice or should i say ATTACHMENT that a Linux user generates while using a distro for a long period of time.Personally speaking i have made some perceptions regarding the distros and i like naming(or nicknaming) the as –>

openSUSE –> The beautiful one.

Red Hat –> The professional one.

Fedora –> Mr. do it yourself.

Debian –> The Mature one.

Knoppix –> Test Drive.

Puppy Linux –> Closest to windows Gui.

and the list goes on…well hope these names given by me must have helped u generate a certain idea of these distros. Personally i use openSUSE. I think its extremely beautiful, have a easy to use and modify GUI, has a very simple yet efficient control panel (YAST), updating it is very easy, stable enough to be used as primary OS, max. driver and hardware support and many other features. The best and the most recent feature of openSUSE i like is the oneclick install. Using oneclick install you can you can search for a software on the openSUSE site and can download and install that software using just one click (and ofcourse a reliable and a decent speed net). Use the link software.opensuse.org/search to directly go to the software search for onlick install. In case of quarries about openSUSE or a general Linux question feel free to ask me…i’ll try my best to answer your questions.
