QUOTE(qedx @ Apr 8 2009, 01:57 AM) if i know i'm going to be doing a lot of root-y stuff i just do sudo bash. not quite sure if there's any downside to it vs su but i haven't run into any so far.  QUOTE(Cannonfodder @ Apr 9 2009, 10:22 PM) Use 'sudo su' if you want to keep root access in BASH. QUOTE(qedx @ Apr 13 2009, 09:46 AM) "sudo bash" lets me use my aliases. what's the difference between that and "sudo su"? Why do you all try #visudo command and see what is inside? |

Tested Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Mandriva, Fedora and Red Hat 9 , Mepis... all are good. But still stick to openSUSE since it's predecessor Suse Linux Pro 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 hinggalah ke current 11.1, I love this Suse

Linux Mint is the best distro I can think of for noobies. The best thing is that it guides you through installation for dual-booting with Windows and also (unlike Ubuntu) contains all the necessary drivers you will need setting it up.
No more hunting around for individual drivers. |

I feel opensuse more like windows than linux. program crash or hang will bring opensuse down.

I tried a lot of distros before, Ubuntu, Fedora, DSL, Puppy, Sugar, Mint, and my favourite is Fedora 11.
Ubuntu is too... erm... flashy? Although the CLI is still there and all, I don't like the way its marketed, like it's a "dumbed down linux for everyone" kind of thing. DSL is awesome, just burn or make it bootable on a small flash drive (fits on a 64MB!) and its an awesome recovery tool. Sugar is experimental, actually for the OLPC program. Very interesting though. |
