Re^6: Is Your Business Using GNU/Linux on the Desktop?
Only one possible answer: of course!

As a webdesigner i don't have another choice :)
And i'm a truly fan of FOS - so i have to do so.

So i have a "real" debian installed on my server (file- and webserver, most used programs are the apache and samba, and ssh for remote and administration).

My "all-day-working" PC has an Kubuntu Linux running - and a Windows XP in the VirtualBox.
I need the "native" InternetExplorer for testing websites... to be honest: i need more than one (in different versions).
Yes, i know (and tried) the IEs4Linux - but there are some small but important differences, so i decided to go back to the original one.

I'm curious... what do you exactly use in your daily work as a web designer?

Probably he means is using Debian stable, no other flavour or forked distro. Let's see what's the answer.

Well - step by step:

"what do you exactly use in your daily work as a web designer?"
First of all: a texteditor. I use Kate, the standard editing tool on KDE.
Next: a webserver. Apache, like i wrote before...
And for images i use GIMP.
Why i wrote "i have to use it"? Well - websites _must_ work on many systems and nearly every browser on the planet :)
Mozilla (with firefox as the most famous part) is an very important browser that i have to respect while developing.
The IE also, of course... but in fact, i wrote valid code first (and i use firefox with some important extensions to control).
Next step: controlling in Konqueror, Opera, Nautilus.
Debugging and testing in IE > 5.5 ist the last thing i do. But i have to do.

"...what makes a "real" debian, and by that meaning there is essentially an "unreal" debian ..."
I use debian - the "real" stands for "original".
(K)Ubuntu, for example, is _based_ on debian, but not "the real thing" ;)
In fact the (let's say "original" instead) debian is more stable and less "multimedia".
Unfortunally it's also a system for advanced users and definitly _not_ the right thing for linux beginners... i know it very well right now ;)

Kubuntu, on the other hand, is more up-to-date, and has more features like DVD-Playback, MP3 and so on.
So some other distibutions (like (K)Ubuntu, Xandros or Knoppix) are using debian as a basic system and put their own things on it. It may work - but in some cases it don't.

Re^10: Is Your Business Using GNU/Linux on the Desktop?
i use ubuntu on desktops, debian or freebsd on servers and mac os x on macbooks. i tried to install ubuntu on my macbook pro a while ago, but it just didn't have the same feel, especially the trackpad.

windows only runs in virtual machines. sometimes.

and i got debian on my playstation 3 too ;)

Brilliant!

And just for a laugh: Do you know that history about a guy in an Academic Department that took one of the PS3's home for weekend... That PS3 was part of a computing cluster that was serving the department server and took the system down the whole weekend!!!.
