The thing actually works...got the answers backwards though!
Offered me Gentoo then Slackware.

It offered me five perfect matches: Kubuntu, Mandriva, MEPIS, Gentoo and Slackware.

I've tried all of these before except MEPIS. Slackware's my current favourite, and I'll definitely try Gentoo some day.

Gentoo then Slackware as perfect matches. Funny cos I was only wondering about trying Slackware earlier and I already use Gentoo, that has to be the first online test Ive taken where it hasnt either got it wrong or told me to call such and such a numbe rfor full results Very Happy

I also got the Mandriva/SUSE/Yellow Dog recommendation. I like SUSE a lot, and it is what I use.

I must be answering the questions wrong - I keep getting Kubuntu, Debian and Mepis with Fedora or mandriva and then SUSE Linux 9.3. I've been using SUSE Linux from 9.0 until now 10 when I changed from Red Hat 7.3 - 9. I just have too many hardware issues with Debian during the installation (stable, testing, or unstable seems to always have an issue with must use something from stable when I'm using testing or this hardware needs unstable when using stable) and Mandrake/Mandriva has always seemed to have an issue somewhere with hardware or libraries.

Or is it because I'm upside down to the web server Laughing

Maybe the answer is right and you are using the wrong distro Smile

Maybe people are putting too much stock in the order in which the results appear.

Hello!

I Mandriva and SuSe.

Almost accurate - I removed Mandriva recently in a fit of rage.

Just run SuSe now.

What is Yellow Dog, and is it any good?

It got it upside down, i think the predicates need expanding a bit. Not a bad idea though, just goes to show the fundamental problems associated with predicated systems.
