TheHalf Posted September 10, 2005 CID Share Posted September 10, 2005 I used RedHat 9 and did the best I could with modifying the OS. Fedora is a run off of RedHat and now I am using SuSE 9.1 and twitching the new 10/100/1000 dual-port NIC on my PC. I will resolve...soon.

TheHalf Posted September 10, 2005 CID Share Posted September 10, 2005 Get with the times man, SuSE is some new ratified OS and needs tweaking by all to make it better. Input by us makes it better Elite.Pete TheHalf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite.Pete Posted September 10, 2005 CID Share Posted September 10, 2005 i've given up on linux, every version i have tried has had me run back to windows xp pro sp2. it's like the only OS for me, im sure one day i will find a linux i like but i really think ill just move to vista and not look back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
