My two cent's worth: Mandriva->Fedora->Debian_based_distro(; Ubuntu)->Welcome home. When you get tired of doing things over and over....Once you've solved a problem, a personal howto is at hand. The only excuse to do it again would be to help or get paid....In the meanwhile try to conquer more mountains. My take is that all RPM based distros are the same(excluding the management tools...drak*,yast*,system-confi*) Debora and Ian's family will receive you all too well :) /Me 2009/6/6 Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com>
After a lot of hard work, I have graduated to a normal linux user. still, i am so inexperienced that i have wasted a whole week of person-hours teying to get mysql and vmware tio run in linux before giving up. In both cases, Google assured me that there were more than 2 million other people facing similar problems, with no known straight forward solution.
So distinguished Skunklings, I hereby sought your advice on the most suitable linux distribution for linux power users. I would like one with good support, driver support, many applications available (we dont like re-inventing the wheel) etc.
I currently use Mandriva, and I am requesting for advice on Mandriva, Fedora, Suse, and the ever popul;ar Unix branched FreeBSD. I might consider Ubuntu, if a strong case is put forward in its case (as you can see, i favor RPMs)
Thanks ++; -- with Regards:
