Best Linux distro

You really should check out Slackware [^] The best and dare I say the oldest distro ... have been playing with it since Slackware with kernel 1.2.13....It's fast, am more of a CLI junkie, rather than clicking here and there...occasionally I use WindowMaker.... I know, I know, it's debatable...let's not turn this into a flamewar akin to Emacs vs Vi.... :-D Best regards, Tom.

I played with Soft Landing Systems first, then Slackware. Of course both of those were before Version 1.0 -- something like 0.95 or whatever. BTW, vi rocks. Emacs, well, ...

He asked about Linux not Unix ;P

What is the best free Linux distribution out there? I want something tailored for development, science, math, those sort of things.

I only use Linux in VMs, but I have fewest problems with CentOS.

My vote is for Ubuntu.

Really? It's the one distro that's continuously had problems with my hardware (the wireless card in particular). I mean, even Gentoo picked it up...
I've had zero install problems with it. Perhaps you have odd hardware - ooh err missus.

There's a derivative of ubuntu called scibuntu which should have loads of science tools in it!

You know that best is a highly subjective term. Having tried various Linux distros since about 1994, I'd have to say that Ubuntu is probably the best that I've setup, and it has one helluva lot of applications ready to install with it. It's a breeze to set up, and is friendly enough that I'm happy enough to install it on family machines.
