Linux!! Which is your favorite flavour?

[kumarmohit]

I have used linspire for live despite its slow speed

Used Fedora Core 4 and am satisfied

trying to go for SUSE 10 eval version

 

[Satissh S]

Why go for suse 10 eval when you can get opensuse? but it's your personal choice..

 

[GunshotSilence]

whats less in suse eval? is it like eval software for windows??

or just shareware support?

if it juts support that missing i wanna have it, how can ya send it to me?

 

[GunshotSilence]

hey satishsh

is suse 9.3 better than 10? how is open suse10 and whats diff between opensuse 10 and novell suse10?

 

[vignesh]

The latest is always the better because it will tend to have better harware support and newer versions of apps.

 

[Satissh S]

Open Suse 10 is certainly better, but i guess from now on Novell SuSe will carry proprietary softwares such as Nvidia Drivers.

@prakash : I have to get debian DVDś first to install it. What about itś programming tools, dev tools etc., does it have eclipse 3.0 ??

 

[praka123]

@Satissh S everything......its got all program/dev tools in its 16 CDs or 2 DVDs(morethan 16000 pakages).eclipse is also there..firefox all sort of plugins....b/w u can even use ubuntu packages in etch or unstable distros or viceversa.Enjoy Debian..
Debian Vaazhga

SUSE rocks.......

 

[vignesh]

But one thing prakash debian is good only thing is it is not upto date and the new packages in the repository are unstable ones..

 

[praka123]

Debian Unstable means actually packages are tested according to Debian Policy: *www.debian.org/social_contract
the packages are indeed stable are in the way to the stable distro via etch,testing distro.really unstable packages can be found in
*packages.debian.org/experimental/

yes they may be a little late in few packages to get into the distro.for eg earlier they didnot included Xorg as default X fast as Ubuntu did coz they waited Xorg to release modularised DRI.
nyways Ubuntu is also a great distro. But Debian Community is purely FLOSS peoples work into making that Distro better.

 

[vignesh]

YA Ubuntu is good choice if you want to try Debian.Its more up to date...

 

[praka123]

SUSE rocks.......

Got hold of Open SuSE DVD from other....wll try ansay rock or skks

 

[praka123]

Installed Open SuSE gr8 Distro..

 

[Aniruddh]

hav used fedora,suse 10
SUSE is the best as far as i m concerned.

 

[vinayasurya]

Mandrake is the best distro i used. It is very easy to install and very easy to use than Fedora.U won't get as much softwares with Mandrake as with Suse, but all the necessary softwares are provided. I learnt Linux by using Mandrake Linux alone after trying all 9 linux favours including Suse. I like Suse but still think Mandrake has some edge over Suse in terms of user friendinesss

[vijay_7287]

i am no linux enthusiast so the one most soothing to the eye is my choice
