There's also Ubuntu Linux. They give out free CDs without shipping costs. I ordered like 50 CDs for fun, and they all came! Here's the link: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/

i think is a good idea if you just want to try something or you are going to execute programs that dont use too much memory ... i think this is emulation right??? and emulation consumes a lot of machine resources so if you really want to try linux install it normally, mandrake is a very friendly interface and have a lot of tools to manage multiple OS in your pc like linux and windows ...

I don't understand people who want to use Linux but don't want to leave Windows.
What's the point of trying it then? You want to use Linux? Format your drive and install it, that's the best way of doing it.Ofcorse you can also use LIVE distributions, but don't come up with stupid ideas like Lindows, Winix, Win-Lin and so on.Linux under Windows is just a freaking disaster! Use either Windows or Linux, don't mix these two together! For all of you kids out there, haven't you heard of VMWARE? |

QUOTE(lava.alt @ Jul 27 2005, 11:12 AM) do you already installed ubunut linux??? do you recommend it'??? i entered to the website but im not sure to try it I use Ubuntu, it is the single greatest linux community in the world. While still fairly new, it's popularity exploded so there is alotta development and active forums, and good irc channels. having a good community is very important, especially when you depend on them for support. It's nice to have people backing you up, as learning new software isn't easy. Most of the people in the ubuntu community will gladly help you and respect you right away for just wanting to learn the system. I've tried just about every distro out there when i was first thinking about linux, and ever since i first booted up ubuntu, i fell in love. It has a beautiful philosify and is built on debian, so you know it's stable and has a great package management tool. Ubuntu is great for the begginner or seasoned pro, it is for lack of a better word "perfect" =o) happy trails. email me if you have any questions. freedom jazz dance at gmail dot com i would recommend ordering a free cd, because its nice to have, but i wouldn't take advantage of there offer, the defult is 10, i ordered 5 and gave the extra ones out to people i met at the cafe and a few to friends. I don't recommed the live disc "just to see what its like" because *a lot* of features and software is not accessable. www.ubuntulinux.org www.ubuntuguide.org the guide is very helpful, i don't know where i'd be without it |
