I use Red Hat 8 for all of my video editing, photo editing, and 3d work (Maya 5, Shake 3, GIMP). My server runs Red Hat 8 also. I am very comfortable with Red Hat, though some time i will screw around with NetBSD for my server...
But nomatter what distro you choose your window manager will affect your opinion of linux. DO NOT use bloated WM like Gnome or KDE, use Blackbox, Hackedbox or Fluxbox. As for a server- do not install a gui, it is a waste of time. |

I am surely a newbie. So, following in those footsteps, I chose SuSE for my distro. Getting it installed on my laptop was a real joy.
First I had to fight with X, it would not install. So I downloaded the new version and ran the installer. That worked. Then KDE would not work, I am not familiar with desktops other than KDE and GNOME. so I downloaded and installed that. Ok, now I tried to start X (mind you I had to do all this in the CLI and I am a noob.) X starts up fine but then I get an error saying something about kdeinit. Then I remember that I had a hard time installing Qt, so I manually rin the rpm and get that installed. Now all is good and I am just configuring all my settings.I don't think that I am a newbie any more. Should I update my kernel to 2.6.x? Last edited by Ryan Collings : 25-03-2004 at 15:10. |
