i'd join the league of linux.

suse here ..

Count me in! Been using it for quite some time, it was my main desktop OS until I got sucked into the dark side that is Mac OS X

Now i still run it on a spare box that is used mainly for Bittorrenting and side project development .. in the planning stages of a special project for LYN forumers!

Another Debian fan here. Been using it for ages.

I have downloaded and installed SUSE 9.1 Pro with KDE.
I have also downloaded Mandrake 10.1.
If anyone needs a copy, just march up to my place with a few blanks.

Just to keep up, I installed and tried Suse. Will try Mandrake next.

Anyone wants to log in to try Suse. More than happy to create some user accounts.

Sounds like a good idea!!.
People who are keen in having a look/try Linux, you can download VNC onto your windows machine. Use VNC to remote access and try Linux.

Its great to hear tht so many ppl r interested in Linux, I'm one of them infact I'm doing a project on Linux therefore may I know where can I find any online poll tht shows the popularity between the different type of linux used in the market nowadays so tht I can create my own graph for my project ... thx for the help ... ^^

I choose SuSe , better inteface and customization.

Another Debian fans here But I am currently using Knoppix modified version, I install Knoppix into my laptop and use apt-get update some of my package which follow Debian Sarge. Because I lazy to re-install my Debian Sarge thru network which spend me 3~ 4 hours to download.

hi ... linux noob here ..
tried previous distro b4 ( red hat, suse ) but somehow i deleted them after a few tries ... maybe due to unfamiliarity to install hardware drivers in linux environment .... now i wanna tried linux again and wanna know which distro is more user friendly and maybe closed to windows environment ?


note : im very noob in linux .. . hope this time i will like linux

i heard that debian & redhat is the most stabil distro.......(dunno right or not),but i recommend mandrake or redhat for new user because it is user-friendly......& use virtual pc or vmware to install linux on windows platform will be better

The World's first multi-session Linux live CD, Puppy.

http://www.goosee.com/puppy/multi-puppy.htm

Here we go...

RedHat Enterprise Linux 3
Fedora Core 3
Damn Small Linux
Knoppix

These are the main ones I'm using.

gentoo.. slackware.. fedora... knoppix... debian..

others... i don't use...

Hey there fellas. CentOS and Ubuntu are worth a try. I use gentoo

.. we're gonna have much less of those distro-picking threads from now, unless they are constructive.

Knoppix 3.8.1 is out
http://www.knoppix.net

gentoo or debian imo, tedious installation, enjoy the goodness of portage and apt-get later..

BTW, Mandrake is now Mandriva Linux.

Anyone ever used CentOS? I recently talked to a System Integrator and I was informed that CentOS is a 99% clone of Red Hat Server Enterprise. Anyone would like to help me clarify if this piece of information is true or a fake?

this is a pure newbie question. but since can't find anywhere in the forum, i'd like to ask, which distro/version is suitable for an old and slow machine? < 1.0ghz and 128mb ram. any recommendation for linux distro that will run at smoothly?

Hey there.
If you have a lot of patience, sure, we can run any of the distro above.
All the PC here at my site are running at the speed less than 1ghz and ram = 128 ghz, some of them are running FC3, some running Centos...
It is running quite smooth too.. I must say..

this is my linux that i install


FC 3 my office computer well for apache it's work fine

SLES 9staff computer look nice izzit like windows XP

Linspire live cd it took me 10 days download using that bittorent huh

i already try all but then i think for freebies better u guys using Suse 9.3 more friendly i did using mandriva also like linspire and what they say they want to merge with linspire yupp it's friendly also xandros i like the crossover office software very handy but then xandros that i'm used is demo version so some problem and bug for linspire good interface stable...
