My two cent&#39;s worth:<br><br>Mandriva-&gt;Fedora-&gt;Debian_based_distro(; Ubuntu)-&gt;Welcome home.<br>When you get tired of doing things over and over....Once you&#39;ve solved a problem, a personal howto is at hand.<br>
The only excuse to do it again would be to help or get paid....In the meanwhile try to conquer more mountains.<br>My take is that all RPM based distros are the same(excluding the management tools...drak*,yast*,system-confi*)<br>
Debora and Ian&#39;s family will receive you all too well :)<br><br>/Me<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/6/6 Dennis Kioko <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:dmbuvi@gmail.com">dmbuvi@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">After a lot of hard work, I have graduated to a normal linux user.<br>
still, i am so inexperienced that i have wasted a whole week of<br>
person-hours teying to get mysql and vmware tio run in linux before<br>
giving up. In both cases, Google assured me that there were more than<br>
2 million other people facing similar problems, with no known straight<br>
forward solution.<br>
<br>
So distinguished Skunklings, I hereby sought your advice on the most<br>
suitable linux distribution for linux power users. I would like one<br>
with good support, driver support, many applications available (we<br>
dont like re-inventing the wheel) etc.<br>
<br>
I currently use Mandriva, and I am requesting for advice on Mandriva,<br>
Fedora, Suse, and the ever popul;ar Unix branched FreeBSD. I might<br>
consider Ubuntu, if a strong case is put forward in its case (as you<br>
can see, i favor RPMs)<br>
<br>
Thanks ++;<br>
