What is the your favorite version of Linux or Ubuntu?

Playing around with Linux Ubuntu on an old laptop and trying to decide which one to use.

Linux is known to run great on older hardware.

There are tons of them. My biggest headache will be drivers for my wireless NIC and printer.

Fun .. fun .. fun ..

Thanks

I use the latest version of Ubuntu, 11.04.

I have no complaints. I love the ease in switching desktops, a feature windows does not even have yet. I also have no problems with any drivers, the ones I needed were included already. If your hardware is real old, you might have a problem, but with a 2009 notebook it works great, much better than windows 7 which I also have on it but rarely use.

Thanks guys. Loading on a 2005 Dell Inspirion 1150. I made the mistake of showing my son my new Toshiba Satellite and wound up donating it.

It already has Win7 Ultimate on it, but it is quite overkill for that hardware.

I'll probably to with Utuntu 11.04 with a dual boot at first, then dump the Win7 partition once I get the drivers tweaked on it.

Get vmplayer from vmware.com, and you can run windows virtually on your linux system for those times when it's handy. Running windows and linux simultaneously on the same PC can be useful, depending on your needs.

Hear, hear.

In addition to the three flavors of Linux I have in VMs, I also have VMs of WinXP, Vista and Win7. And even Xenix (though I'm still not sure why).

You don't have to multiboot your machine and mess with partitions. Virtualize all that complexity away.

Since memory isn't an issue on my Xeon workstation, I can run 3-4 virtual machines at once along with my native OS.

Any i5 or i7 machine can do this easily.
