Sayz I should use Fedora Core, PCLinuxOS, and Debian
but that my box is probably too slow for most of it.(Imagine that ,only 7 years old) Well, I'm using DSL 3.0.1 and like it alot, have used Knoppix as well (the Debian parent of DSL) . tried "Puppy" but had connection problems and hated the "puppy" part (sorry, cute and fuzzy aint me, no offence acklan  ) Have Kanotix and Ubuntu but neither will load up, same as Knoppix 4.0 had 3.7 working but something "Broke".  don't matter, DSL suits me just fine.I'm rather fond of the whole "Live CD" aspect of Linux , but wouldn't mind trying Xandros some time.

Hey pretty cool!
I took it and it looks like I am most compatable with MEPIS. It looks really on the cutting edge of linux operating systems. I will look into it more. I am about to put debian on a old dell to use as hopefully a webserver (not necessarily with debian). However, I will probably end having it quad-boot. FC5, Debain, MEPIS, and Hopefully I can find a good download of Gentoo x86. -------------------- Sorry all, I will edit my sig later leaving just asterisks at the inappropriate word.

It gave me
QUOTE Fedora Kubuntu OpenSuSE Mandriva Ubuntu which is good because I have tried all of them but I fell in love with Fedora Core. Oddly enough FC1-5 are still available thru Duke University @ Bittorrent. All are available as DVD's or CD's BTW Where's "Kitty" Linux or do Pinguins hate cats --------------------  You can't bash an eMachine until you've owned one, then you just use a baseball bat. |

QUOTE(JohnWho @ Apr 16 2007, 04:16 PM)  Wonder how you have to answer the questions in order to have Freespire be one of the recommendations? N00b. That is how you have to answer them. Graphical point and click installer. Computer use type, Home/Desktop (FreeSpire fails if it is a workstation). Debian based. Application repository. Available development packages (may or may not be on the CD). Not cutting edge. If you pick "Free", then Linspire will not show up. ---- FreeSpire Kubuntu Linspire Mepis Ubuntu Xandros I dislike both Linspire and Freespire, and Kubuntu for that matter. Is it just me, or is Adept just plain horrible. Fedora Core looks good these days (Saw the passable package manager on OSDir), but I'm a Debian compatible man, Ubuntu, and Xandros for me. Odd thing. I find Linspire Five-Oh's interface downright horrid, but Xandros' interfaces are rather clean, and professional, and elegant in their own way. Yet they are not quite up to the clean brown/orange Human theme of Ubuntu. Actually, I think Gnome looks better than KDE. -------------------- The Answers are out there, you've just got to know how to find them.
