Operating Systems > Linux and UNIX

itching for some new Linux

<< < (3/7) > >>

psyjax:
well folks, I have downloaded both Mandrake 9.1 and RedHat 9.

I have been running RedHat 8 for a while. The problem I find with it, is that it's just not inviting enugh. Remember I'm a MacOS nerd    .

I wan't a linux that feels like a comfy warm blanket  :D  hheeheheheh... errr... yea.

So umm... I hear Slackware is a big pain in the butt to set up... but hey, I'm gonna have alot of spare time lookin fora job and all (  :(  ) may as well learn a thing or two.

So ummm.... how do you folks weigh in on Slackware?

suselinux:
I am clueless without a GUI and I found Slack9 was actually easy to set up its really very straight forward(as long as you know what programs do what when you're choosing them).

I just found that it holds true to its description as being the most unix like Distro.  Not a bad thing just thought I would point that out.

Try Debian or Gentoo as well if your good withe command line

Im not so I stick with SuSE, Red hat, Mandrake

I hate to say it but I prefer Red hat 7.3 to 8 or 9

Another deciding factor in your choice of Distro is which you prefer Gnome or KDE

Redhat likes Gnome     Mandrake, SuSE like KDE

preacher:
Mandrake 9.1 is my favorite of the new distros, but I havent tried Suse yet. Ive also fallen in love with Blackbox, its a super lightweight window manager that is simple and effective.

psyjax:
OK Kids! I got Redhat 9 and Mandrake 9.1!

Im only gonna install one cuz I don't wanna go thrugh all the truble twice in a row. (at least for a little while)

Weigh in on the vote! Which one should I go for? Depending on the tally by May 23, it will determine which I will install. (write in votes are also conisdered (i.e. other linux distros) but please also vote for one of the two above).

Thanks folks!

LordWiccara:
never used mandrake but i use Red Hat 9 now, real easy to install and use, so i vote Red Hat 9
