Amreeka mein bahut pollution hai. Abe apne pc ko ek baar India ki hawa lagvade. Sab theek ho jayega.

[vish786]

Sabayon (since you have display problems & noob Distro)

 

[gauravsuneja]

xandros looks like win98

 

[esumitkumar]

arre yar sabne confuse kar diya ......sabayon dload karu ya xandros ya mint ya ubuntu ya madriva ya suse ya linspire

 

[Faun]

get mandriva if you want out of box experience

If you want to tweak a little bit but easily then try Ubuntu. Great support is a guarantee here.

 

[esumitkumar]

^^ I just read it is possible to install Mac OS X leopard on PC ..have any of u done that ..how was it ?

hey T ..out of the box means more headache ya cooly cool linux breezes ?

 

[Faun]

You will have almost everything which is proprietary and not under GPL.

A few of the guys here have installed Hackintosh.

 

[esumitkumar]

hmm..thanks ..lemme try mandriva if it gets dloaded today...any hackintosh users can drop their opinions about leopard ......

off topic : who is the cute gal in ur avatar ?

 

[Plasma_Snake]

Si, its possible but that too through Linux!

 

[esumitkumar]

yeah... but possible through windows too

lo..i have dloaded and burned cd of mandriva..but my Acer 5500's DVD drive is gone
Will an external DVD writer can boot mandriva CD ?

 

[gary4gar]

for the slow speed, did you create a SWAP partition?
