what linux to use

javajoe
I have finally decided to experiment with linux. I now have an intel processor with hyper threading and windows 2000 doesn't support it. I don't like microsatan windows xp so now seems like a good time to do this.

Installing Mandrake v10 Linux

Kupo
Hey, I currently have Windows XP Pro but I want to install Mandrake Linux version 10 on my second hard drive which is FAT32. I'm using the floppy disk to help me boot the install. But, when i get to the install and it asks me to pick a cd drive, i put my primary and it says that the Mandrake cd is not inside.

Installing apt in SuSE 9.1/64

themadtux
Does anyone know if there is a build of apt that is compatable with SuSE 9. 1 x86_64? I've tried installing the 9. 1 rpm binaries but I always get an error that libraries are not installed yet they are in usr/lib64 (I'm at work, I believe that's where they are installed).

deathrail
hey, I'm farely new to the open source community. I switched from windows nt to mandrake. I was a big fan of Adboe Photoshop 7, I was woundering if there was a cross over of it, or if there was a program similar to it.

What about FreeBSD?

axp
What are your opinions on FreeBSD? Is it good? Does it run fast on low end hardware? Ive heard that its good as a workstation. I have a copy of it on CD(FreeBSD 5. 2. 1 mini-install) but it's the Mini-install version which means it uses the internet to download some apps.

Its me again

bearcat
Hey everyone, I was here a while back and I never got linux working properly on my computer. I'm back to give it a second try. Ok, so linux installs fine and boots fine and all that, but I can't get the internet configured! So, one of you guru's please check out my hardware and see if it's compatible with linux.

Hey site admin! Maybe add these to the distro grid?

martouf
I'm curious to find out if the visitors here think there's a few distros worthy of being part of the hot topic grid. I think another three distros ought to be there and for this poll I'll keep it simple: a yes or no vote for the slate of distros.
