Linux from scratch. It has everything you want.

Or you could also try gentoo.. But be prepared to spend a long time

any more sugesstions?

Debian from scratch, Slackware

[praka123]

guys are U teasing him?

If u r new to Linux or UNIX® go install a common distro like Debian or Ubuntu or Fedora or Mandriva or OpenSuSe;not something like LFS,BLFS etc...later u can try these distros as they are hard-yes they are tough although with gentoo i cant say with its installer.

[DeSmOnD dAvId]

For beginners, I'd suggest Ubuntu. It is as simple as much as it is powerful.

Well, queries like yours, never seen them before. Anyone who doesn't want a 'linux for n00bs' knows where and what to get a 'linux for l33t'. So.. Well, there you go. And here at TD forums, we aim to answer the most accurate queries we can, and the moderator's choice here was all right.

Well new and advanced conflict and there's nothing much one linux can do which another flavor cant. So stop asking 'advanced' and getting such replies. Its all the same.

Go for Ubuntu's latest one, the "Feisty Fawn" 7-point-O-four. Its the easiest to setup, easier to get going on, and its blazing fast thanks to recent developments.

[Pathik]

Go for UBUNTU... or SUSE/FEDORA

what about mandriva linux?

[Pathik]

yup MANDRIVA is also a good option for beginners...
tho if u have a good and fast internet connection go for ubuntu..

and u just shut the hell up, its people like u who who should be banned,

im new to linux, i just start a thread for ppl to help me select a linux distribution and everyone from the mods to cheapskates like aryayush start bombarding me,

@aryayush
u may be an expert in linux, i dont giva a damn, i just need my queries clarified, so if u can only be rude and cant help out, its best u keep ur comments to urself.

[aryayush]

I saw your threads and I understood you were new to forums, which is why I did not say anything about it. Once you get more experienced, you'll come to know more about how forums work.

But I do have a problem with your attitude. You have been very rude to tech_your_future in the other thread you started and in this one too. And you have been rude intentionally. And now you are being rude to me for no reason. I would say the mods are being very lenient on you. Try saying those lines to someone like FatBeing.

And BTW, I am no expert at Linux. But I do have some decency and I know how to ask questions.

aryayush is right, I am being too lenient. This is your last warning. Once more you're rude to anyone, I will ban you permanently.

ur the one who is rude, tellin the mod to ban me for no reason
the arguement was between me and the mod, why the hell should u interfere?
me and tech_your_future will sort out the issue,
and my apologies to tech_your_future, bcos i was rude to him for no reason, i didnt didnt know that he had moved my post to 'open source'
@ aryayush
why do u want me banned?
i was rude to the mod, i agree but i wasnt rude to u?
ur comments forced me to be rude.
i wasnt rude to u, but after ur post i was pissed off by ur attitude.

Go for mandriva linux.it sports out of the box multimedia support and all the essential productivity suites are also there to boost your work.

thanks for ur concern buddy,
i dont know whether to go for ubuntu or mandriva.

[Desi-Tek.com]

@slash_89 go for redhat enterprise linux 5 RHEL
but it is not free and yeah it is very advanced ..

@Desi-Tek.com

hows its GUI?
now confusion between red hat, mandriva,ubuntu.

[Desi-Tek.com]

http://images.google.co.in/images?hl...h+Images&gbv=2

but look and feel is very much same in all distro! only theme could be different

[Possible]

Just go for Ubuntu man... GUI is the same in all, after all its all based on either Gnome and KDE and that's what which depends. Just get Ubuntu and tweak it up with whatever software and look you need. Red Hat Enterprise is for Workstations and Servers.

Sigh, these confusions, just try some distro and be done with it! Its ALL THE SAME for god's sake.
