Re: Another Linux Distribution Chooser
Not fair. It recommends Gentoo for gurus. That's not true at all.

Re: Another Linux Distribution Chooser
Listed in order of recommendation, starting from the first one:
Ubuntu - Nine faces
Mandriva - Eight faces
Vector - Seven faces
Mepis - Six faces
Gentoo - Six faces
Fedora - Five faces
Debian - Four faces
Slackware - Three faces
I already have Ubuntu installed on Parallels Desktop, but I never use it.

intermediates who can read. Just look at the vast amount of docs gentoo has. To the point, extensive, well written, mostly uptodate.

Re: Another Linux Distribution Chooser
Its sad but guys lets face it "Gentoo is dying" and its sad to see such a lovely project come to such an abrupt end. So for a starter the ideal choice today is Ubuntu.

Re: Another Linux Distribution Chooser
^can u explain where n why gentoo is dying?I dont see any infact child distros for gentoo too are emerging like sabayon 
also for a new Linux user now the choice for first distro may be Ubuntu for GNOME lovers and PCLinux OS for Kde fans.

I got Mandriva as the result. I am actually thinking of trying this one now. Parallels Desktop, here I come.

Re: Another Linux Distribution Chooser
