I use arch linux, have Xfce4 and compiz as a gui, am working with the arduino Mega 2560 rev 3, have an arch linux minecraft server running at my school (for the geek club a couple friends and i started) i love arch it dosn't do anything without me telling it to. as for the aurduino i just started with it and all i've really done is mod the blink script to blink SOS, and a hello world to output "Hello world!" and a math problem to my laptop.

I have a old linux computer, planning on getting an Raspberry Pi soon as well.

how are you level one and a moderator?

I run Xubuntu 12.10, and it has outdone windows by far for me. I find it to be faster, I like the programs bar, I just generally prefer it.

I've never used linux in my life and never plan to.

I don't like Ubuntu, but I like debian and linux mint

I've been programming micro-controllers since pic-axe 16 : )

And I've been using an Arduino ATm168 for a few years too; but I've never heard any reference to them being linux related ? ( I am also a unix programmer and Ubuntu-linux user tho )
