basically just try it out, read other people's feedback. stuff like that.

for me, after some testing i decided to go for SUSe 10.1

choose the livecd and experience urself
i doubt there is an ultimate solution..
different distro for different user and purpose

Ubuntu 6.10
http://www.ubuntu.com

Fedora Core 6
http://fedoraproject.org

SuSE 10.1
http://www.opensuse.org

Mandriva 2007
http://www.mandriva.com

Doesn't anybody use Slackware???

From now on, those "which distro to choose" threads, if left dangling somewhere in the subforum, it will be merged in here, as soon as I see one.

Encouraging the use of pinned threads.

Cheers.

Of course there are many people using it.

click --> Ubuntu Edgy Eft Installation

Ubuntu Guide --> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy

Sorry i don't quite understand... if i have 3 partition , 30GB(window xp ) , 10GB (free fat32) and 40GB (free NTSF).
If i want to install to my second partition 10GB ? how do i install ?
What is ext3 ? why do i need to allocate 100mb for New partition # ? and what is a swap partition ?
Sorry , i am totally new , just downloaded ubuntu 6.10 cd version.

The installer will prompt you for a partition to install.
ext3 is a journalling filesystem.
swap? simple definition would be virtual memory.

I totally don't know what's the step i should do .Means , the partition #1 is a virtual memory.So how much swap size i need to allocate ? from here is 100mb , http://debianadmin.com/copper/albums/edgy/thumb_16.png .But what's the good size should be use ?

Well, from my experience of looking in the configurations of most linux servers..
swap partition size is the double of the ram size...

So , for example if i have 512mb ram , i need to set it to 1GB swap ?

Of course, that is correct.

Why, that did not work for you?

Nope just doulbe confirm before i start installing.If i am having problem installing , i'll sure post around here.Sorry still need to linux.I''m get more infomation before i start using it that's why i google and ask arround.

i used debian a lot

Debian


i combined it with ubuntu

such a great package debian have 14cds

great because of having 14 cds?

I guess those distro with 10000000 cds would make you drop your jaws?

Why not start telling us the reason debian is such a great package?

i thought debian only need 2 of the cd. even 3. since when they have 14(my mistake sorry).

you will need 14 if you don't have internet connection back home. but you don't need all, probably first 2 is enough(as far as i use it, few months back). the apps can be found in repository anyway.
