[mediator]

^^Sorry, but the options are fedora,fedora,fedora......more fedora!

[~Phenom~]

Well Ubuntu is just one CD and gives more inbuilt utilities than many others bulky distros which comes in DVDs or 5-6 CDs.

Ubuntu is light on system resources , easy to use and install new packages.
its the best a newbie or an expert can get.

Dont believe me ???
Well Ubuntu has risen to no.1 within just three years . Its just awesome. All distro awards say ubuntu is the winner.

[Pathik]

[~Phenom~]

^^why ??? even fedora and suse needs internet connection to install rpm packages and using yast.

[mediator]

Debian with it's 4 DVD's is still less?

[Pathik]

u can install rpms in both witout internet... but wit fedora n suse atleast u get the basic utilities wit the dvd...
in ubuntu u hav to download almost evything...
@tyf i ws talkin abt noob friendly distros which r easy to install n run...

[~Phenom~]

^^ what everything ??? we do have all basic things within the box in ubuntu.

[subratabera]

Fedora is working hard to improve the performance of its rpm system. Soon we will see a brand new yum command which will work faster and more efficiently...

[~Phenom~]

Ok I give up , Ubuntu has many disadvantages.
The biggest is that it is an Addiction.
Everyone who uses ubuntu for some time starts loving it more than anything else . He starts believing that all those who are using windows are idiots for they are paying huge money for crap , buggy software which provides viruses and lots of problems as free gifts.

he also starts believing that Ubuntu is the best linux distro in the world and that anyone using any other distro is not enjoying the full benefits of linux.


And i am addicted, Please help me....

[mehulved]

There's a way to cure this addiction. Use slackware. But, don't blame me if you become a slacker. And there's no cure for it.

[~Phenom~]

^^ I dont wanna be a slacker. But I will try slackware and may become slackware user , not slacker for sure.

[Manshahia]

wats different in Slackware?

[mehulved]

No strings attached. You are on a free fall.

[Manshahia]

Means??

[~Phenom~]

^^yeah , even i wanna know that. Please expalin mehul...

[mehulved]

[Manshahia]

Wow...
Mehul u sud hav told me that earlier.
I m gonna download that..

[mehulved]

Go ahead but remember that you will have to play around with a lot of things.
Slackware has no GUI installer, no fancy partition tools, just powerful fdisk and CLI installer. After install, it doesn't even start Xserver by default. It places everything in the hands of the user.
So, you will have to give it some time to get used to, and read some man pages and google.
Even I feel like trying out slackware again but no place on my disk

I didn't post it by your name. Just moved your post from one thread to a new one. We can't post in somebody else's name. But, we can edit it, but it's very well shown as to who edited it.

[~Phenom~]

^^Its ok , it was just a thought , nothing serious.

And i am addicted, Please help me....

I don't find anything much addictive in ubuntu. I used it for a few days (due to the unavailability of others distros). And moving forward i've a temptation of getting rid of it and get myself another distro. Shuttleworths moves added to it.

I'm with debian etch right now. But i'd say you guys must try gentoo or slackware if you want to know the power of gnu os with linux kernel.
