Laukev7:
Ah, my privs work now. I can finally move this thread now...
Xmn:
if your a n00b you should probably try SuSE it's Easier than my ex g/f, the first time i ever used linux was with suse it gave me all the skills to move on to other Distro's, For future reference Fedora Core is ok yes it's slow but their's tons of apps out there. try to avoid something like xandros. the only good thing about xandros is cross over so i can run eXeem, which is hardly worht the 90$ you would be paying for it.

I learned a lot from Mandrakelinux when I was new to Linux.
I actually tried SuSE, and it's real easy to use and stuff.

Can we just let BeOS die already? Thanks.
This is coming from an individual who bought the BeOS Bible, r4.5.2, and r5 Pro when they were all new, and evangelized the platform like no one else to his friends.
If you want to believe in its technical superiority, fine -- I still think it's one of the greatest operating systems to have ever existed. If you want to help continue development of it, and hopefully help it reemerge in a new form built from the ground up, great. But please don't recommend BeOS to a newbie who's looking for a realistic alternative to Windows, because in 2005 -- it's just not.
