Mandriva is pretty easy to install and use. It worked right out of the box for my PC but software selection is rather limited. You can search it yourself but Linux softwares have a lot of dependencies so you got to do some work to get everything right for you. Distros like Ubuntu have a large software repository so all the softwares come in packages, you don't have to hunt for the dependency files. But Ubuntu doesn't install well on my PC but another distro, Linux Mint which is build on Ubuntu worked for me. I strongly recommend you to try Linux Mint. Large collection of drivers? Why do you need a large collection? This post has been edited by ayob99: May 4 2008, 02:09 AM |

If you're willing to tweak, Fluxbox is nice. |

QUOTE(hihihehe @ Apr 16 2009, 10:16 PM) duno this is a right thread or not i plan to install ubuntu on my gf's laptop which is win xp..but i worried tht ubuntu cant install ms office..any idea about it? You won't be able to run MS Office on Ubuntu, you can try using wine to run it but I have never tried that myself. Most Linux distros includes OpenOffice for your word processing and financial spreadsheets requirement and it is compatible with MS Office documents. |
