Guess no one like Linux here.

i just downloaded the preview release a week ago. Its a very simple and easy to use linux distro. I liked it better than the Suse LiveDVD.

I like the live cd better that Knoppix.

Just don't like the colours, crap name, n logo.

Rest is all good.

i've already ordered mine

tried suse livecd too but it didn't detected my audigy card nor my usb modem so why use a suse linux pc if i can't play music or browse msfn?

I haven't really been keeping up much with the Linux scene.

How does it compare to Fedora Core 4?

oops

I agree somewhat, its a much cleaner cd than knoppix, seems to respond faster, has just what i need.

One thing i should have mentioned before was Suse did not detect my Marvell Yukon LAN.

Well both Fedora and Ubuntu by default use the Gnome desktop.

Ubuntu fits on a CD, Fedora needs a DVD.

Ubuntu is a great distro to try out for new users. Installing programs is as easy as apt-get install <package>. Highly recommended for people who want to try things out but aren't quite ready for the full transition yet.

I download all 4 CDs of Fedora Core 4.

And tried to duel-boot with XP, but it overited some file and I couldn't boot into XP.

SO I started using FC4, got bored of it on the first day, because it couldn't detect my internet connection. So I removed it stright away. For XP.

It took me 14+ hours to download those 4 CDs. P*ss TAKE!

I've tried lots of Linux distros, the best one I've found is Ubuntu (live cd) as it is the only one that can detect my internet connection.

I download Linspire when it was free looks good, on internet on live cd though, for me. Even Knoppix couldn't detect my internet.

I believe it is because my modems connected throught USB, most Linux can only detect through e-net port.
