tstillery Posted May 10, 2005 CID Share Posted May 10, 2005 i was just wondering what and if anyone was using Linux and what they believe to the best one that is user friendly and is the most compatable with most hard ware? i have been trying out SUSE 9.2 64bit but i find to have many flags and dependency issue also what about windows 64 bit?

just- Posted May 10, 2005 CID Share Posted May 10, 2005 not sure about the 64bit version of things but i have used red hat 8 on a laptop and it worked fine in terms of finding my drives for cd-room and every thing else in the laptop. i have also tried suse light version on it running of a cd and it also worked fine but i see you are having some problems with suse have u tried red hat one?

peepnklown Posted May 11, 2005 CID Share Posted May 11, 2005 Linux Guide for Beginners http://www.linuxlots.com/~jam/ Another Guide http://www.linux.ie/newusers/beginners-linux-guide/ Mandrake: User friendly and fast, features many graphical interfaces. SuSE: I would say this is similar to the above comment. (try 8.2) Fedora: nice spin-off of Red-Hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Matter Posted May 11, 2005 CID Share Posted May 11, 2005 i've been using Slackware Linux for about 7 months now, and love it. I like the cfdisk option on Slackware 10 for setting up, and making partitions it's more user friendly than plain old fdisk which is still an option if you so wish. Plus you get LILO as the boot manager with Slackware incase you want to run Duel Boot systems. Slackware Linux rocks in my book, and i've used SUSE Linux, Red Hat Linux, and Fedora Linux Core 2, and 3. Thats my two cents anywho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCobra Posted May 11, 2005 CID Share Posted May 11, 2005 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS 4 is rock solid. SuSE Pro 9.3 is also very solid. I prefer SuSE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
