Linux distro's
Linux distro's
Hi. I daw sveral posts on this forum referring to Linux; how great it is... how Winodws sucks! So I decided to try Linux out for myself. I've bought Austrumi off Ebay. It runs off a mini disc which I think is pretty cool. What are some of the other good distro's out there and what are your favourites?

Knoppix is a nice distro which works from CD. From my installed experience I'd prefere SUSE or Red Hat. Currently I'm using Red Hat.

I know why you're here. I know what you've been doing... why you hardly sleep, why you live alone, and why night after night, you sit by your computer...<br>
Unfortunately, no one can be told what Qbinux is. You have to see it for yourself.

Currently im using Ubuntu http://www.ubuntulinux.org with what im very happy.
Its hard to say what is best, its up of "needs". If youre a linux newbie, i could recommend any of major distro. (Red hat, debian, ubuntu, suse...) but ill warn not to try mandriva. It sounds cool and easy, but its not reliable, it needs at least same specs from pc than winXP (and its still slow as sh**) to work even properly and policy of mandriva club are like ROFLMAO.
But its most easy one after winshit. Its most "winlike" of major distros, feels like those same "crash bugs" of winshit are are at mandriva too
Anyway, wich distro ever you choose, its no so much up of it. Its up of patience and want to learn how things are handled with linux
Good place to start http://www.linuxquestions.org

I really like Fedora Core 4. Easy to install, learn, great community support from www.fedoraforum.org and easy to update/find programs for. It's what became of "Redhat Linux". I don't even use Windows anymore except for certain programs.
Yah, Fedora is also one of "major" distros, and for reasonRocket Boy wrote:I really like Fedora Core 4.
