itching for some new Linux

<< < (6/7) > >>

Doctor V:
Evil Entitys own package management system, the Masoleum, is still being developed.  But yes, any linux app should work with no trouble .  That being said, you might be able to get RPM or portage to run, who knows.  Then again, there's nothing wrong with tgz files.  You can install KDE on it like any other app, but EvilE has Enlightenment set up so well that you might not want to.  I'm sure there are plenty of other dev tools that can be put on there that work in Enlightenment.  It does come with dev tools, I'll take a look at them again and report back.

If you do install it, when it brings up a  option on a green screen where you can choose (Y)es  or  (N)o  you have to enter a small 'y' for yes.

I should be getting Mandrake 9.1 in the mail soon, so when I do, I'll let everyone know how it is!   :D   [got it for one cent on ebay]

Laukev7:
Did Mandrake go bankrupt? I heard that they have finanacial difficulties, but I was not aware of their demise. I don't see any mention on their website.

I would recommend FreeBSD over Slackware or Debian. It is much easier to set up, and just as customisable. Even recompiling the kernel is a simpler process (I think). The disadvantage is the limited number of applications available (although you can run Linux programs just as well as natively). I don't think you can do that for kernel modules or drivers, though (such as support for filesystems).

I have tried many Linux distributions, but I never found anything suitable to my liking. Even FreeBSD is not quite what I need. I am constantly changing between distros and OSes.

Maybe I'll check Evil Entity. Anyone has a link?

Isin't slack supposed to be the MOST challanging distro?

Mandrake 9 is looking very apealing. It has anto-aliased fonts! *gasp*

I'm a sucker for eye candy.

No, realy, how hard is slack?

Not hard at all really, it is pretty fucking easy actually.

Doctor V:
For evil entity go to:

undeadlinux.com

Psyjax:
As far as development tools, it comes with VIM (ugh), jedit which is a text editor like nedit or kedit, Qt Designer which I think is like kdevelope, Glade - a visual basic like development thingy for linux, and GCVS which I don't know a hell of alot about.  I think you should be more than all set for programming using Evil Entity.
