Preferred OS for workstation - Need Feedback
Here's my specs:
Core2Quad Q6600
4GB ddr2-667
150GB 10k rpm Raptor
ATI Radeon X850 (256MB PCI-E 16x)
Dual Samsung 226cw 22" lcd's
I'm very linux proficient, but I've been using XP for years just for the sake of compatability. Here are the programs I want to be able to run:
Adobe CS3/4 Suite
LivePerson
Zoiper (VoIP client)
Everything else I run has a *nix equivalent that I can setup. My biggest concern is running the three above programs, and having my dual screens setup. I remember last time I setup dual screens on a Debian install, I had to fuck with xorg.conf wayyyy longer than I wanted.
Bottom line: I have a Vista OEM CD here, that I don't want to use. I've used Kubuntu and LOVED it, as well as Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL, Fedora, SuSe, Mandrake, Gentoo, and a few others I can't remember.
Please share your thoughts as to getting the best workstation environment setup.
