harunaksoy Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/Ubuntu for me Very handy if you don't know which distro to choose.

EchoNoise Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 GentooMepisSlackwareand....FEDORA... YAYI use fedora
DigeratiPrime Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 1. Fedora2. Debian3. UbuntuTwo things i was sorta unsure about was if i wanted a graphical installer, i choose yes, and I didnt care if it used gnome or kde. sometimes i prefer one over the other, but i usually do not care.
Wraith Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 Gentoo.Slackware.Hmmm, I think it might be spying on my network, because that's exactly what I'm running.
Zxian Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I've actually found that the best way to find your favorite distro is to try them out. Fire up VMware and install whichever one you want. If you can get it working to a point where you can find information on the internet, you're golden.
DigeratiPrime Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 ^ why buy vmware when you can just download the live cd/dvd versions and play with those? B)

Zxian Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 With the live CD/DVDs, you can't really get a feel for how the system is going to run once you've got all your drivers and programs installed. Also, you don't get to experience how to install programs for each distro. There's no real way that you can install something when running from Live CD, is there?
prathapml Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Right.And moreover, VMware offers ABSOLUTE safety. You can do anything at all, without the fear that in the background you have unknowingly caused some data loss.
GeneralMandible Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Fedora for me...better go download it (I've been messing with SuSE)Mandriva didn't quite meet all the requirements.and I agree with Zxian and prathapml...VMware is the best way to go in order to really experience the OS.
Zxian Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Not to mention that VMware support for Linux is fantastic. I get pretty much the same speed in VMWare using just a default Linux install as Windows+VMware Tools.
EchoNoise Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 VMware is the best way to go in order to really experience the OS. Installing the OS is the best way to go IMHO...
