Hi
Which is ur fav distro & why? Mine is Suse 9.3 Pro!
Hi

First install feedback:
Fedora Core 4 is AWFUL!!!

Serial mouse won't work even after install! Had to edit xorg.conf
FC4 is faster than FC3 but still much slower than Kubuntu/Ubuntu!
Bootup time is more than 2 minutes!! It takes ages to configure the network interface!
Pretty slow!
YOU CANNOT COMPILE ANY KDE APPS BECAUSE THE NEWEST VERSION OF GCC WHICH COMES IN
FEDORA IS BLACKLISTED! THIS IS THE MOST FRUSTRATING THING! YOU'LL HAVE TO REMOVE
GCC 4 AND INSTALL AN OLDER VERSION!
Setting up yum and enabling repos is such a geeky cumbersome job for newbies!

I was so excited about Fedora but this is it!

Lets ask Digit for Suse 9.3 Pro - IT HAS BEEN RELEASED AND IS FREE FOR DOWNLOAD!

EVERYONE WILL BE HAPPY!!!!!!!!

Suse has the latest of everything with Java, Flash, RealPlayer preinstalled and it
has the working version of gcc so u can compile ANYTHING!! And with Gnome 2.10
and KDE 3.4 IT ROCKS!!

PLZ GIVE SUSE 9.3 NEXT MONTH. IT COMES IN 5 CDS SO U CAN GIVE AS DVD.
