^^ I know that bro.. but apt-get missing erro .. shook me badly see I have installled it nearly 10 times on PC sometime due to grub missing soe time due to something .. blahblahblah . So downloading open SUSE 10.2 .. Is it debian based ?

 

[infra_red_dude]

you wanna try a new debian basic os? mempis is great.... or why don't you install debian itself? btw, open suse is NOT debian based.

^^ Then Based on?

not based on anything, though it can be compared to fedora. it uses it's own packaging system. it supports RPM.

If you haven't tried fedora, then try it. There are others you can go for, but if you want an OS for normal use (ie not experimentation), go for F7.

Try Debian, trust me its rock solid & stable distro
also now the installing has become easy for newbies, because of migration to GUI from CLI in the latest release.
hoever if you like the text based mode, its still there.

a decade ago, it was based on slackware, then was based on Jurix distribution.
but now its based on nothing.
Suse stands on its own base working with rpm package.

1998 src1.
src2
