IMO, One should switch from the present system only if he is not happy with it & is facing problems

This applies In general.
so if someone is happy with Windows xp, why should he change.

Lolz, If someone is happy with windows, i'd say he doesnt know the meaning of happiness.

Well, jokes apart ,
Sometimes we get accustomed to the system we're using,
And even though we aren't completely satisfied with it, we continue with it.
IMO trying new things let's you find out what you are most comfortable with.

^for the better!imo,ubuntu is much more userfriendly than suse(I said NOT n00b friendly )

Maybe true in WIndows sense, But if you follow the same regime on Linux. there will be a lot of troubles.

As there are various types Distros,package mgt software,Desktop Environments,window Managers etc etc.

In short you will never finish trying

^Lolz, not entirely true.
I started using Linux around 2k4.
Lemme list all the distro's i've tried, before i settled with zenwalk..
Xandros, Lycoris , Redhat 9 , Vector , Ubuntu & Kubuntu , Linspire , Fedora.

All this in less than 3 months IIRC.
I found Zen with Zenwalk and settled.
And there's not much of a problem if you ask me.

 

[SunnyChahal]

Right now im installing fedora KDE
Lets see what fedora has got to offer.

Fedora is SUCKY!!!
Installed and configured ubuntu again.Plz tell me any good sites like gnome-look.org where i can find good themes

 

[SunnyChahal]

installing nvidia drivers-I can help u.just open a thread.

also,stick with the distro for ONE month.thats what u need!

ditch vista out of ur computer

 

[shady_inc]

Better stick with Ubuntu, get to know how everything in Linux world works for about a month or so before going on distro-changing spree.! And you might want to try out Sabayon linux.It comes with EVERYTHING installed [even a few games like quake in home version] and looks quite sexy too.! And yeah, it does have KDE.

It does.? It looks worse on my PC..

[The Conqueror]

Sabayon Linux looks cool. I Must try it......

 

[Dark Star]

I hope I am not violating any rule in linking to another forum If it is wrong Mods please clear it

dunno why but in beryl it was smooth

K i got the answer
Just set the "Grid Resolution" to max(64) in "Wobbly Windows" setting inside "CompizConfig Settings Manager"

Now its smooth as cheese

 

[SunnyChahal]

Im going to install mepis 2mrw

It looks cool and Im trying it out in Virtualbox atm. I seem to enjoy it but there are a number of facts you need to be aware of before you even try Sabayon 1.1 PE.
