Which Linux OS do you have installed? - GoFuckYourself.com

LiveDose · 05-11-2008, 09:26 AM

I want to play around with Linux on an old laptop. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

StuartD · 05-11-2008, 09:32 AM

I use Fedora almost exclusively... but if you want to just install to learn and play then I'd suggest Ubuntu.

Lycanthrope · 05-11-2008, 10:42 AM

Install (distro here) if you want to learn (same distro here), but, if you want to learn Linux, install Slackware.

u-Bob · 05-11-2008, 10:45 AM

slackware, zenwalk, vector linux,...

jacklaidlaw · 05-11-2008, 11:19 AM

ubuntu is prob most first time user friendly and is quite popular

beta-tester · 05-11-2008, 11:19 AM

Hardy x64

And it rox!

fuzebox · 05-11-2008, 11:33 AM

Been using Ubuntu for a few years now, before that I was a Debian person.

dissipate · 05-11-2008, 12:00 PM

We have Fedora installed on out desktop and our lappys. Getting the wireless on this Dell to work was an experience in aggravation, but it works.

Emil · 05-11-2008, 12:29 PM

Ubuntu <---

brandonstills · 05-11-2008, 12:52 PM

I use OS X now that I have Mac since it is a true UNIX distro, but for my servers I use Cent OS 5.

the alchemist · 05-11-2008, 02:47 PM

I'm running Ubuntu Hardy Heron for amd 64bit and I love it!

Chosen · 05-11-2008, 02:54 PM

None yet, thinking about Ubuntu

Evil E · 05-11-2008, 02:55 PM

Since I have a mac, I am on OS X. Best nix desktop.

PowerCum · 05-11-2008, 03:05 PM

SuSE
If you want something more interesting try Solaris, but I doubt it will run on a laptop.

Catalyst · 05-11-2008, 07:02 PM

ubuntu at home.. centos on web sites

farkedup · 05-11-2008, 07:21 PM

yup... for home and workstation type use ubuntu is easily the best option out there. Massive support community and out of the box easiest distro to use and just jump into running while otheres have a bit more of a learning curve. Installing and updating software has never been so easy!

My first venture into linux as a windows replacement was RedHat 6.2 so I've been back and forth with windows and linux for what like a decade?

Really? I must have been a magician getting it to install on my Latitude D600 with 100% hardware support

Linux is Linux, it all has a Linux Kernel. The only difference is how packages are maintained, versions, preinstalled packages and custom themes.

Then again, you knew that, because you learned Linux, with Slackware

fallenmuffin · 05-11-2008, 08:23 PM

Fedora 8

GetSCORECash · 05-11-2008, 08:46 PM

I use Mandrake, Only as I started with it a while back.

tony286 · 05-11-2008, 08:53 PM

going to give ubuntu another chance.

Abyss_Vee · 05-11-2008, 09:22 PM

Fedora and Ubuntu are both great

Ecchi22 · 05-11-2008, 10:26 PM

I have tried many distributions ;) As a start I'd recommend OpenSuse or Ubuntu

kmanrox · 05-11-2008, 10:47 PM

i currently use Ubuntu almost exclusively.

Chosen · 05-12-2008, 01:45 AM

I'm going to install Ubuntu on IBM Thinkpad laptop with P2-366 processor

Will it be fast enough for work? What do you guys think?

en21 · 05-12-2008, 04:12 AM

Zyzz · 05-12-2008, 04:19 AM

scoremoola · 05-12-2008, 12:01 PM
