A common question of who wants to begin in the Linux world is choosing which distribution use. After all, there are hundreds of different distributions (only the website Distrowatch list of some 300 high) and you do not always have time, knowledge and pre-provision enough to test different distributions. Thinking about it, Zegenie Studios created a simple questionnaire that can be answered in less than five minutes, and that helps you choose the best distro to use.
The idea of the site is just annoying burn that stage of the search, you invariably end up chasing friends, forums and mailing lists to make the fateful question "What is the best Linux distribution?". Indeed, until this questionnaire is good: he does not tell you what the best Linux distribution, but what is the best distribution according to your taste, what will you do with it, and even the type of equipment you use.
That is, it takes into consideration if you want to install Linux on a notebook with more than two years of living or recently acquired a machine with 64-bit processor, billions of gigabytes of RAM and a video card with more resolution real life and points out what the best distribution for each case.
One great idea and much better than the "install Gentoo, it seems difficult at first, but it's good that you learn to use Linux" who now and then someone loose out there ...
To find out what your perfect Linux distribution that best suit you, just follow these steps. First, you must access the page of the questionnaire and click on Take the Test.
You can complete the questionnaire in several languages (Portuguese included). The choice of language will not make difference in the outcome, but if you like strong emotions, I recommend choosing "Arabic" or "Hebrew." With the chosen language, get the battery of tests. Respond with warmth and sincerity. Note that some responses have a different icon, an "i". Clicking on these options, you will have the option to read more about it. Ideal for beginners.
Once everything is answered, the website will list the distros that best suit you, with links to download.
Note that, in my case, the site lists three distributions: Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Debian distros known for ease of use and package retrieval, and this has to do with my current profile, more concerned to see operating system than to spend the early morning into the night compiling programs or drivers. On another occasion, surely the result would be different.
And you? Which distro did you get?
