Re: So many versions of Linux, what do I do!!!
I started out on Mandrake 9.2 then Upgraded to Mandrake 10. I moved to Linux so that I could host websites for fun and later for profit. My site can be found at http://nullagent.no-ip.com when my computer is on
. Mandrake is great for newbies, 10 is very easy to install but will not work on all hardware. Installing a program on Mandrake is very easy when using RPM packages but next to impossible if you try to compile a program from the source. I am now finding it restrictive as it has many dependencies and I am now planning a move to Knoppix or Gentoo. Gentoo is a cool distro but I would not recommend it for the faint of heart, or those that may be tempted to go back to a M$ operating system. |
