Well there is also Linux.

I been planning in playing with Linux for awhile but have not gotten around to it.

Does anyone have any recommendations for which Linux to start with?

[grab_grab_the_haddock]

i also did a bit of sounding out about linux, and got alot of good vibes about mandrake linux. I never took it any further though, i hardly have enough knowledge for on OS never mind two. and i wont give up my XP whatever the evils of the gates empire.

I tried lycoris, it was ok

i hear suse 8.1 is really good

[Rickio]

cool deal guys.
mmm does anyone have a site where download is at a fairly decent speed, to get a copy of linux?

[tenzing]

You can try the following site to download various linux distributions.

http://www.linuxcd.org

Click on the distribution you like, then select view item.

[notbob]

WWW.LINUXISO.ORG has dozens of different ones (suse 8.1 eval is on my ftp)

[Rickio]

thanks you guys!

I'll check it out and probably set it up this weekend. gonna set up a extra puter that's laying around ;-p


peace!

EVEn leeches need a O/S.................heck i even buy mine.....im not that stuipid

[wonderboy2005]

i tried mandrake linux a couple months ago. i really liked it, BUT it is nest to impossible (for me) to install somthing. you need to use a command line.... ehh... im actually semi-afraid of the command line. i grew up with a nice GUI. i NEED it.

are you sure?

what are you talking about. Linux is freeware, open source and downloads are completely legal and even encouraged.

Linux is the only real competition Micro$oft has.

Shocking isn't it!!!!! LOL


Rickio: Try this version......it's a lot easier to get into Linux this way.....I started with Redhat....and GRRRR the damn ATI drivers for my video card....killed my install and I said the hell with it for awhile....but it's all good now....

http://www.winlinux.net/2003/download2.html

Download speeds are pretty good....
Make sure your online when you install it since they ask you to reg. before it installs.....just give a phoney email address.


Peace all, Later

Winlinux looks very interesting and user friendly, i WANT to download it. But all i get are links to programs for it, not the actual Winlinux OP Sys itself. Any help on providing me a link?
Greatly appriciate it :)

The link to the program?

http://jungle.metalab.unc.edu/pub/Li...reeVersion.exe
Or
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/...reeVersion.exe

Right click > Save Target As or Save Link Target As in Mozilla.

Enjoy! Don't forget to stay online when you start setting it up - it'll just exit if your not connected - give a fake email addy and whatever else and your done. Also if it refuses to boot to linux try removing your videocard - it doesn't support most cards on it's own...you need to surf around to find a driver for whatever card you have (if someones coded one) I know theres a decent ATI one floating around so do a google search.


Peace all, Later
