what distros have what advantages?

(1/7) > >>

Chooco:
let's take some common distros and compare:
-Mandrake (8.2 don't work for me so i'll say 8.0 because it does)
-RedHat 7.1 (there's only 1 mirror for 7.3 so it's virtualy impossible to DL within 1 year)
-Suse (whatever the latest one is)
-Lycoris (latest one)

what advantage does each one have? i've tried Mandrake and Redhat so far. Mandrake seems a lot easier to configure stuff in terms of a control panel in KDE

what do the others have?

Master of Reality:
When I dled Linux Red Hat 7.3 there was about a hundred different mirrors (ok... maybe only 70). But there was a lot and i dled it about a week after it came out.

Chooco:
if you got to redhat.com and go to download, select RedHat7.3  it brings you to this page here:
http://www.redhat.com/download/rhlinux73.html
and there's only 1 site listed.

TheQuirk:
i wouldn't know about redhat.. when I downloaded it, a friend of mine hosted it on a server (imagine.. downloading redhat 7.3 alone on a full T1 line     )

Edit: I realized I broke cd #2 and had to download it again from www.linuxiso.org. The download was very fast. Besides, linuxiso.org has more then 1 listed.

I downloaded RedHat 7.3 the day it came out from http://www.linuxiso.org/ and had the three CDs burnded in 4 hours start to finish.  Don't know what your problem is...
