Linux on the workstation anyone?
Going to install Suse 9.1 Personal Edition on an older computer tonight
Anyone have experiences to share? Should I use another linux flavor instead (must be downloadable)? |

I have dual boot XP/RH1 on my laptop.
Dual boot XP/Fedora 1 on my desktop. I haven't used any other linux flavors. But i'm happy with Fedora 1. apt-get is cool tool. But i actually do all my webmaster stuff on the windows side ( primarily because of photoshop. don't like gimp too much) and then all my programming on the linux side. I think there's more hardware support with the RH installs, but that's because I've only installed debian as my other linux flavor. I've heard good things about Suse 9 tho from my buddies who run it. Oh and the fedora core 1 and 2 are downloadable.

I got a lindows (linspire.com) box and love it...next linux flavor I'm gonna mess with is xandros....
I'm lazy, thus the purchase of a pre-packaged, easy-as-fuck linux dist....Debian + KDE is nice if you have the patience to set it up like a true geek...

SuSe is a great workstation for the linux non-guru. However if you have some knowledge of linux I recommend a different distro.
My choices are: Debian - Server Fedora - Workstation Just my

heh... the CEO of lindows used to be my former CEO. Guess which dot com i used to work for? hehe I've yet to check out the lindows distro. I've heard it's pretty cool for first time linux users. I'm gonna have to get me a free copy of that now. My first install of linux was RH 6.0 so i've been a RH man since.

I have the Suse 9.1 pro cd's at my house from the boxed set, and have it dual booting on my workstation alongside xp, and it's what runs our dev server.

I don't really use Linux. I just keep installing it and then formatting my hard drive again so I have more space for Windows apps...
