lol, it did spread like a plague.Good thing that I was cured from the "plague" when I swapped to Linux :Dxboxrulz

that soundcard should also work on SuSE Linux 9.3 too. Fedora Core 4 sometimes have missing drivers as I've heard.xboxrulz

Well, my dad's office needs to upgrade it's primary server that's currently running Redhat 7.2, and I need recommend him a distro, but I'm stumped between Fedora and SUSE, wut do u guys think? If you want to recommend other distros, please tell me, and state the reason.Thanks!xboxrulz

Try to reinstall ALSA 1.0.9, and then try to run the sound configurator on Fedora Core.I can't really help you since I run SuSE Linux 9.3xboxrulz

Actually u mean free as in opensource and not free as in free beer, because there are distributions that require you to pay. Something like Linspire or Xandros.Anyways, Mandriva DOES require you to pay a subscription to update the internal system files like KDE or GNOME or even get the kernel updates, unless u wait for about 6 months for the next version.SuSE is different because it's easy as it is professional, and no stupid subscription. Pay for it and you get support, a large manual and a sticker . Else, you can download for free, but no support, large manual and no sticker.Gentoo will take you days to install even on Pentium D computers. Also, without Linux experience, you won't get anywhere, since you need to know the basics on how UNIX works. You must know how to use emerge and know your computer inside out in order to use it.xboxrulz

If I were u, I'll take Mandriva because it's easier. There's a downside of Mandriva, if you want to update KDE or GNOME you MUST be part of the subscription club.I still recommend SuSE.xboxrulz

lol, it is not a rumor, the Developer's edition of Tiger HAS been leaked into the Internet and people have actually made it work.xboxrulz

KDE: It is a free desktop that is written in C and uses the QToolkit for the front-end. It has a great iCandy feel. It is easy to use too! https://www.kde.org/

GNOME: It was planned to replace KDE because of licensing issues which are now resolved. It is like KDE but it uses the GTK as the front-end. https://www.gnome.org/

I use KDE.

There's no "best" desktop, you have to choose yourself.

Also, sorry for the double post.

dhandesh, that list only shows the hits per day. It doesn't mean which one is better.You should start out with Ubuntu (or Kubuntu if u like KDE better) or Suse. Note, 10.0 is in beta, the current stable version is 9.3 which is also available for download.I recommend SuSE because it's easy. It's great for both newbs and experienced users. I can always choose to use command line setup or graphical setup and configuration whenever I want.SuSE is not only for newbs.xboxrulz

Use SuSE, great for exprienced users and newbs. It has a graphical tool to make server management easy!xboxrulz

There is an OS called SkyOS, I paid for it's beta program (I get a free final copy later) and the discs work but the checksum fails on K3B.http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

Usually the MD5 checksum system is wrong, I don't know why people keep using them.It's different on different burner and checksum software.xboxrulz

lol, but I dun use FC anyways, I use SuSE 9.3xboxrulz

abhiram is quite true, but Linux was also built for usability. Yet, it's like Windows is chaffeuring you to use your computer, you don't actually take the keys and "drive" the computer.As for your earlier post, true that Windows 2000 does crash often, but SP2 crashes alot. My hardware is far from new, it is 3 years old, they don't even sell the RAM I need.xboxrulz

Which is the best Windows OS? I have to say 2000, because it's faster and stabiler at least on my P4 (2.53 GHZ). Windows XP keeps crashing on me and SP2 is serious crap, it's slow and creates more bugs than it fixes.Linux and Macs are the best way to go. I always love macs! I started liking Linux last year!xboxrulz

andrwxsCOL, that's the longest post I've ever seen, I just scanned it and didn't read it in details since it's too long. ASR's idea of summarizing, IMO, is correct.

it'd be easier if u had YaST since u can just in put the library filename & it will show the package u need.xboxrulz

Initially I didn't support Apple switching to x86, but if it is able to kick M$'s *bottom*, then for sure, go ahead. Else, I would like them to stick to PPC as it is one of the world's best processor and it beats PPC in calculation, math and best of all can handle more tasks then Intel and AMD processors. x86 still uses CISC which stands for Complex Instruction Set Computer and it's slower and process less than RISC, Reduced Instruction Set Computer.Even M$ has switched their new XBOX from Intel to IBM's PPC processor.xboxrulz

Everybody can be a scientist, yet they might have different theories. I think that the Big Bang DID NOT created space and time, it only created fragments that we call stars. It created the elements, but space and time was always here. To refer to the guy who said God has been here all along, we can prove that it's not true at all, just like all beings we know, everything has a start and end except for matter. Since stars have lifespan too, then so can "God". Matter cannot have start and end because it is the creator of the objects that we have. It groups up to become what we see today. You can ask me, what created matters, why don't you just wait for a while, I'm sure that we'll find in within this century.That's IMOxboxrulz

try http://rpm.pbone.net/ it has tonnes of RPMs to use!

xboxrulz

nice stuff, I mite try OS X later.xboxrulz

wow, actually u could of checked LinModem (SuSE configures WinModems automatically), it could have drivers for your modem.xboxrulz

The universe was never created, remember this: "matters cannot be created nor can it be destroyed" Therefore, that proves that it can't be created, there could be more than 1 universe. I don't know. Yet, the Big Bang theory might be composed of these matters that grouped up and got too heavy, then it exploded causing the fragments to become stars.DigitalDingo is right, science has proven religion wrong. Just like how did the guy created the ark to carry 2 of each animal to be 600+ years old? It was before the medieval ages!xboxrulz

AIX, HP-UX, Sun-OS are barely alive, most are now abandoned. People now use Linux, BSD or MacOS for UNIX based.xboxrulz

I love the PowerPC processor, too bad no one else used it, if I had the money, I would start a company to use the PowerPC processor and write an open operating system to run it. Similar to Linux.xboxrulz
