Red Hat is f0c'd need new OS

<< < (2/2)

Calum:
muffin man, mandrake is good, i found it less irritating than red hat (but i am using mandrake 8.2 compared with red hat 7.0) however i have only used red hat and mandrake for destop stuff, so if using for something else then i have no clue at all...

Master of Reality:
The buggiest distro i have used is Mandrake Secure Server Edition 6.0.

Ice-9:
I've been toying around with Lycoris for a few days now and my conclusion so far is that it's probably the most suitable distro for a Windows user to discover Linux, but it would probably bug the hell out of someone who's used to Linux already.
the menus are adapted to almost exactly match the M$ menus, everything is Windows-ized.
I don't think I would install it for personal use, because I like the way my SuSE forces me to think about what I do, I learn slowly but I learn.

You should give it a try though, you can download the latest beta for free.

If you're on dial up I could copy the cd's for you and send them by mail if you want.

rtgwbmsr:
I think Lycoris would bug the shit out of me based on what they say at their site. Windows eXPiss emulated on Linux it seems.

I think I may shell out and get the Mandrake server version...

All I wanna do is install Frozen fucking Bubble, and Red Hat has to fuck with me (Dependency errors, random quits and freezes, ...one of the major reasons I'm switching distros. I'm not exactly a newbie, after toggling a few things I got Apache working (Is there more to it?). I'm pretty good at the console. All I want is for stuff to work.

I'm in Winblowes now, making Mandrake CDs.

Anyone use Gentoo? We've got all of the other bases covered, and it looks interesting.
