The shittyest distro
jtpenrod:
I've read the marketing shit and it sounded good then I looked at this screen shot:http://www.linare.com/screen_shots/shutdown.html - doesn't this look a bit too similar to Windows XP, it's just puke green instead of blue!
Interesting that Linare should get mentioned early. Worst distro I ever tried. That damn thing doesn't include gcc! :eek: Out of the box, it's impossible to compile an app and install from source. Furthermore, for whatever reason, nothing would connect to the 'Net. KPPP said that it had a connection, however, Mozilla, Konqueror, and ftp said that there was no connection. This is something I have never seen with any other distro, no matter how "broken" it otherwise was (ex. ELX -- pretty buggy, but at least its browsers worked). What the hell good is that? :mad:

The worst distro definately is err, I don't know. Well, any distro that is anything like windows. My favourite one has to be SUSE.

In stability, or in interface? Because SuSE has copied a bit from the Windows interface, like Windows has many things stolen from KDE.

I suppose these Favorate and shittyest distro threads don't mean much as you can set up a shit distro to be good by recompling the kernel and doing lots other reconfiguring and you can make a really good distro suck shitt by the same means. But in these threads I am refering to the default configurations. As muzzy keeps saying Windows isn't too bad if you set it up right but the default confirurations sucks major shit.
It's also a matter of personal taste. I prefur Vector Linux because it's lightweight and easy to use.
Lord C:
If I were to install Windows,
I'd have to install Windows Update...
Run some updates, reboot, run some more updates, reboot as required
More updating and rebooting.
Then i'd have to try and find a free antivirus.
Download and install that.
Reboot and Scan.
Then i'd have to find a free firewall.
Download and install that.
Then i'd have to find a free Anti Spyware.
Download and install that.
Then i'd have to find a free Anti Adware.
Download and install that.
Now it's time for searching for drivers for my scanner/printer/mouse/keyboard/monitor/sound card/graphics card/ethernet card/tv card etc.
Install all of those, with rebooting after most.
If I were to install Linux,
I would install my favourote dsitro.
Haha! Poor Fuzzy or Muffy w/e doesn't have a clue :)
