Suse Linux 8.0
-
I'm thinking of trying out this distro. Has anyone here worked with it yet? If so, what did u think? And when God, who created the entire universe with all of its glories, decides to deliver a message to humanity, He WILL NOT use, as His messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle.

It is not a bad distro, I have tried it myself and thought it was pretty nice. BTW, you do not need all 7 cd's that they have for the distro. I believe the first 4 are all you need. the other 3 contain source code for all of the software on the first 4 disks. I may be wrong, and you may need the fifth disk. By default it will choose KDE as your xwindows manager. It ships with version 3.0 which is pretty nice. Konquerer still has some bugs in it however. Personally, I like RedHat with gnome, but to each his own. Additionally, the iso's for the latest version of suse are not available for free download. So you are looking at dishing out anywhere from 40 to 80$ (US currency). If you decide to try red hat, you can go to linuxiso.org and download it for free. Just my 2 cents worth, Jobu --All the good themes have been used up. They've been turned into theme parks.

I'm pretty happy with RedHat 7.3 and KDE 3.0 ... why change ? ;P Cheers, Joao Vaz The loved ones never really leave us , they are always alive on our hearts and minds.
Hmm, quite wierd for both of you to recommend RedHat. Last time I tried RH (6.2) I ended up re-installing windows98 (yeah my experience with RH was that bad). So I thought I'd try a new distro. I've got an old P 200 lying around.

Well, this REDHat version was the first that I installed , apart from 7.0. It's stable , I have it installed on my Toshiba laptop with a general VESA driver with a resolution of 1024*768*16 bits, with the GRUB bootloader installed, on a fat32 system with windows 2000 :-) So no problems at all. I installed Windows 2000 first on a fat32 , then installed redhat using startup floppy disk, I choose to install the preferred boot loader GRUB, then it all went smothly :-) After this, I installed the new GCC version 3.1 without problems too. :-) Cheers, Joao Vaz The loved ones never really leave us , they are always alive on our hearts and minds.

They say that Suse Linux 8.0 is the best distro there is in Linux right now. You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will give you a look that says, My God, you're right I never would've thought of that. * Dave Barry

My fav is Mandrake. It's based on Redhat but it's got a lot of nice bells & whistles. HTH bibamus, edamus, cras moriemur

Last time I tried to install Mandrake 8.1 (preceded by aborted 7.0 and 8.0 installs), it refused to allow me to connect to the net as long as I was forwarding ports (from my Linksys router) to that machine. Nobody at Mandrake had a clue as to why. ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

More software ships with it, and its utils are better. I haven't used it since 6.2, but as far as Linux is concerned, it was always my favorite distro.

Hi, Anyone has tried installing RedHat 7.3 on a machine in which Windows 2000 (NTFS not FAT32) is already there?. I want to install either RedHat 7.3 or SUSE 8.0 on my machine as dual boot(Win2K and Linux). Does RedHat comes with any partition manager?. I know SUSE has one... My system is Athlon 1GHz with 512 MB RAM with USB Keyboard and USB Mouse Could anyone give me suggestions for installing RedHat 7.3 or SUSE 8.0 on such a system? Thanks and Regards, Madhu

Well, it's not that easy, but check this out: DUAL BOOTING XP(NTFS) and REDHAT 7.2 It's XP e Redhat 7.2 , but it's the same :-) Another method if you have BootMagic from PowerQuest it's to install lilo or GRUB in a empty linux partition(filesystem ext2),and after the instalation of linux, go to BootMagic on Windows and add linux partition on the menu that specify the boot options :-) BootMagic will call Lilo or GRUB and one of these bootloaders will load linux ...
