I just downloaded the Fedora Core 2.6.1
Just google Fedora and Linux and click the first link you find. I was able to burn the entire install disc on to a DVD (4.0 GB) and loaded from there. First impression is that I like it a lot. I tried SUSE a week or so ago and I like the Fedora better. Regards, Karl |

I have Suse linux, still learning it
so Linux geeks, I need to set the refresh for my monitor at 60Hz, but the monitor options in hardware set up only has 76 Hz... I guess I need a new driver for the monitor where to get? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |

Another vote for SuSE. It's as painless as it gets.
Another alternative is Mandrake, although I haven't tried anything newer than 9.1. Both distros are pretty easy on the admins. OS X also looks like a very nice alternative, but you'd need to replace your hardware as well if you wanted to go that route. I use Gentoo for my own machine, but I wouldn't recommend it unless all your workstations have the same exact hardware specs. TimT. - don't know the answer off the top of my head, but do a search on http://www.linuxquestions.org and you might be able to find your answer. SuSE also has its own forums at http://forums.suselinuxsupport.de. |

OSX - been running it since Beta X came out, keeps getting better and better. Server version and desktop are rock stable. FreeBSD or Suse if you have to run on an Intel platform. Matter of fact I have a Compaq iPaq that runs Linux http://www.ipaqlinux.com/
But hey if all of you get off the Microsoft platform - I won't be able to charge what I charge to fix all them windoz problems, DOAH! Microsoft pays the bills and keeps food on the table, Macs and OSX keep me sane here at home. |
