Linus Torvalds uses Fedora.


He did an interview in 2008 where he talked about distributions. He uses Fedora on most of his computers, but really doesn't focus on the distribution itself.

Here's the link to an article on O'Reilly where the interview is referenced:

What Linux command will let you most safely switch to run level 2 without rebooting the computer?

Assuming the Linux distribution in question uses a classic SysV Init, you run, as root: # init 2 If you have systemd then there is no runlevel 2. I don't know about upstart. OpenRC is built around SysV Init, but likely systems using it generally ignore runlevels in favor of the initscript configs. Further, most Linux distributions I can think of don't use runlevel 2 at all. Check the documentation for your distribution to see what it is, if anything.

Why Linux Hosting Is The Best Choice Around?

For those computer users and network administrators who love Linux and the hosting solutions it offers, there simply is no other operating system to consider. Everything else is inferior. Their devotion is close to fanaticism but for good reason. There are many good things to say about Linux hosting over Windows hosting, but is that the end of the discussion? Like the many Mac fans and acolytes across the globe, Linux fans can be single-minded in their devotion. While Linux hosting offers a set of distinct advantages over Windows hosting, it isn’t perfect and shouldn’t be regarded as such. One of the biggest advantages of Linux hosting is the fact that it is open source. It is not actually owned by anyone and can be and is developed by anyone who wishes to work with it. This allows Linux to change according to the needs of the user and the situation. The result is a dynamic situation that is able to deal with problems and issues that arise much faster than other choices that have an entire corporation behind them. The flip side to this is confusion. With so many people developing Linux hosting solutions on their own, there are an extremely wide range of choices available. Trying to determine which distribution is the best for the stated mission can be and often is overwhelming. Many users simply pick a popular platform and just run with it. The other excellent point in Linux’s favor is a byproduct of its open source heritage – it’s free. System operators who want to use a Linux hosting platform pay nothing. There are no software purchases required and no royalties that need to be paid. All one needs to do is, again, download the particular distribution they wish to use and be done with it. Linux is not perfect. Windows has a reputation for being security lax and buggy. Linux has avoided that reputation, but there are security gaps and issues with it. The difference is that with Linux, the individual system operator can come up with solutions on their own and fix them while with Windows, people must wait for a fix from the makers. Yes, Linux hosting can be more confusing, but it is flexible and free.

Is ubuntu Linux is the best flavor?

This is too subjective to answer. What may be the "best" Linux distribution for one user will be despised by another for a few reasons. I personally do not care for Ubuntu as an Arch user. I don't generally recommend it anymore for new Linux users in favor of Mint because I believe Ubuntu's "suitability" is slowly decreasing due to how its developers seem to think. The planned Wayland switch will probably make Ubuntu irrevocably broken for a lot more users than the Pulseaudio switch.To me, the developer mentality of community involvement only seems to fly as far as third-party contribution and their developers have a nasty habit of ignoring the Ubuntu community in favor of whatever changes they decide are best for everyone despite outcry (PA was a very unpopular decision, Unity was even more unpopular. Instead of listening, the Ubuntu devs have made it nearly impossible for their users to switch away from both without major issue.).That attitude was why I switched to Arch, which emphasizes heavily on user choice and doesn't force me to use options the developers "like" for me. I do grant Arch has gotten some criticism as of late for not being as transparent with its decision making as it should. And you should have seen the outcry that came when they switched to systemd as the default init system. Arch is also not the "best" either, as it's certainly not for everyone, being a distribution more geared to intermediate-advanced Linux users capable of resolving Linux issues themselves or finding help for themselves.

Can an executor choose not to make a disbursement to an heir if they themselves are an heir and take a disbursement from the estate?

They must follow the distribution plan as provided in the will or by the law of the state. They cannot favor one beneficiary over another unless the beneficiaries agree. An executor is entitled to be compensated for their work, but they must have the approval of the court on the distribution.
