I am using Arch Linux from a years now -it never let me down yet. Highly recommended.
Besides the distro choice it should be also desktop environment choice to consider - the same distro on different desktop will be running faster/slower etc.

OpenBSD 5.0 Stable released.

is linux still getting much attention as the past?

is anybody tried Linux Mint 12 ?

i got error installing it.

I Really like Linux Mint 11 because very easy

Why not? Actually I think it is getting even more attention nowadays compared to the past.

I want to ask It's good idea to use CentOS for a server ?

personally no. tried it and im still prefer ubuntu.

Same for me, been using arch for about 2-3 years and still learning.
You chose what you want to install and that make it easier to maintain your system.

as a newbie, I find opensuse 12.1 most Windows Friendly..
Quite intuitive and any queries is easily found on the web

I also tried a few other distros, but I find OpenSuse most polished and bug-free...

My six y/o dell laptop is powered by intel pentium M processor 1.6ghz 591mhz, 512mb ram, may I know with this spec, should I consider Ubuntu or kubuntu or any other os?

Main usage just for watching movie (rmvb mostly and mp4), surfing net.

Now using window xp and my rmvb Movie sound lagging for few seconds for unknown reason,try other player also same ...so thinking may give it a try on other os

i would prefer FreeBSD, if ur not familiar with it, try ubuntu or fedora

Yo, hi all, ive been redirected from CodeMaster section into this section, lets hope I can get some easy direct answer =)

A bit about myself, im a windows programmer for more than 10 years, ive never seriously look into linux. Lately my company plans to implement something that we might look into Raspberry Pi, a business card sized ultra cheap computer for some kind of project. That Pi thingy can not run a windows but it will be more than enough for a lightweight linux.

So here am i. I am in need for some direct answer. Please suggest me few linux distro to look into based on my requirement.

- the distro need to run from an SD card
- the distro need to be small, very small, if lesser than 1GB good, if lesser than 1 MB even better, RAM only 256MB available
- the purpose of the Raspberry Pi will be running some sort of application, ie a webserver, plus some small sized reporting program.
- no monitor, mouse, keyboard, user will be using the system, so no need to have most of the common things, like calculator, browser, notepad, etc.
- need to have network, DHCP, speaker, capable of running multiple instance of application.
- best if can have mono(some kind of engine that allows dotnet codes or program to be executed)

Currently i have installed debian in a virtualbox, attempting to get the Raspberry Pi or compatible hardware for me to get a head start. Please suggest me what else i can look into, thanks.

Does anyone using Fedora 16? Seems it got so many bugs. The user keep posting new error. I just testing. From my view, F16 not stable yet.

Fedora latest release is Fedora 17, code-named Beefy Miracle.
Fedora 16 release 6 month ago.
If u looking for stable distro, Fedora is not for u.

I choose Lubuntu 12.04.

Reasons:
1. Based on Ubuntu - Ubuntu has commercial support
2. Solutions for Ubuntu will likely work for Lubuntu. So far so good.
3. Lubuntu uses LXDE - It is light.
4. Most stuff "just works" out of the box - e.g. Nautilus, GDebi, IBus etc.

Comments?

ps. Yes, "just works" is a jibe at iFags. LMFAO.

hello sifu, im noobie here in linux. I've tried using usb to boot the F17 by using the LiveUsb Creator software provided from Fedora website. The problem is why my laptop doesnt want to detect the usb after i reboot my pc, then directly boot the windows.

Note : In bios i've already put Removal Device as priority. Please help me.
