i just thought i would mention that i thought mepis stank, not trying to pick a fight but somebody said it was great for a newbie, i think that's entirely incorrect. all i am saying is that taking recommendations is fine, but you will want to try some out before you make any serious decision, because it really is all a matter of opinion. if there isn't an answer now to "what's the best distro" then there never will be.


i second,third and throw my mepis discs out the window that statement

Whatever man, some Linux distros are actually much easier to administer than any Window$ piece of shit.

they all are, thats where windows is the opposite of "paperclip-easy" its "completely fucking-piece-of-shit hard to administrate" given the os is a complete fucking piece of shit, i must admit, it fits

Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant.

I've never heard of it. I've heard of Linspire though which does recieve a lot of criticism around here; is Freespire a community driven fork of it?

I concur, isntalling software on Linux isn't the most user friendly process.

What software would you like to install/update and we might be able to help you?

hey! welcome to the dark side! i'd be interested in whatever you think about freespire, since it's not so common a choice of linux distro, so keep posting here, superken. You might like to ask at voidmain.is-a-geek.net/forums and maybe even linuxquestions.org as well, if you have administration questions about linux. both sites are good, in my experience.

by the way, interesting choice of avatar, it wouldn't be my favourite morpheus drawing though. which issue is it from/what artist?

Wait a sec, isn't linux mint actually ubuntu (with non-free stuff et al)? I should give freespire a try sometime, thanks for the mention.

While we're balcklisting distros, may I please add SUSE to the list for obvious reasons.
