| 24837 | 2001-11-18 05:29:00 | Hey there everybody, I'm keen to get a new linux OS. Ever since me first going into Linux, i've used Redhat, now I wanna use another, because I'm not fully satisfied with it. I want to use either Suse or Mandrake, obviously i'll download the latest version. What is your opinion? Which should I get? thanks, James. |

The installation was easy, especially the partitioning (I have /boot and / as primary partitions with swap, /usr, /var and /home as logical partitions). The only niggle on installation is the 'tree view' of the packages to install doesn't show all available packages, you have to use the 'list view' for this (if you are installing individual packages). I had way more hassle getting Windows 2000 installed (blue screens....sigh)! | Guest (0) | ||

Mandrake was pretty much a flashed up Red Hat - sounds like it's a bit better now, but then so is SuSE. | Guest (0) | ||
