53028 2002-06-07 11:01:00 Well im a Linux newbie and i am considering having a Linux OS on my PC and was wondering which one out of these two were better. Or is it like comparing apples with oranges? Guest (0)
53029 2002-06-07 19:39:00 Try SuSE it is the more Linux
compliant. 80% of my programs I install afterwards would work on Suse, Compared to just 20% for RedHat

53030 2002-06-07 22:29:00 Linux mandrake is the more suitable for a beginner. I have it installed on my system from a dual boot situation, its pretty easy to set up. NOTE however winmodems don't work in linux.
also check out linuxbeginners.org or something like that, they will give some helpful stuff.
as for the previous mentioned about Suse, you don't want your previous progs to work in linux, you want to run free opensource progs, not monopolistic microsoft software.

53031 2002-06-08 00:34:00 I am also just about to take the plunge into the linux world and have been reccomended Mandrake 8.2 by basically everyone, and when you doing the install choose the KDE graphical user interface not Gnome. Guest (0)
53032 2002-06-08 08:55:00 Yeah ive been reading about that new CrossOver software (i think there is also a article in this website somewhere about it as well) Sounds like promising stuff when you want to convert to using MS apps.

Hmm maybe i should hold out a little longer until they fully figure out the WINE issue, so i can install anything i want 100% of the time.
