Linux for the broken-hearted?

--- Quote from: Calum ---hey, hope you enjoy trying a linux distribution.

there are many, many that have gaim, music stuff and a browser. try any of fedora, mandrake, red hat, ubuntu, xandros, lycoris, slackware, suse and so on. most of these can be downloaded from sites such as http://linuxiso.org - all will have some quirky things that will send you round the twist. good luck, sorting it out is half the fun (and is very rewarding!)

Exactly, For The Past 3 Days Ive Been Trying To Switch My External Server To Debian But I Kept Getting Stuck On Installing And Setting Up The MTA Since It Was Easier In Fedora Core, Anyway:

I JUST GOT POSTFIX RUNNING!!!

and ive been jumping round eating bits of bread!! (no really)

Kintaro:
I run Fedora Core 3, you dont need to do much yourself like Refalm claims, who should shut up.

If you install Fedora Core 3 then good on you, its a wise choise.

The first thing you will want to do is install apt-get: http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/

Once it is installed you just need to do this...

# apt-get update
# apt-get install xmms-mp3

And then the mediaplayer xmms will support MP3 playback. It is not hard, just a simple command.

However after you install you should also run a dist-upgrade to update all your packages.

# apt-get dist upgrade

If you really want to have fun try slackware.

WMD:
Why would you need to install apt when Fedora comes with Yum right away?

(BTW, apt for rpm doesn't work as well as Debian apt.)

Calum:
your cynical comments, would seem to suggest that there is no point answering your question.
