it's a good distro, but the only problem is that there are network issues that took me forever to configure, that's why I went for SUSE and Yoper instead. www.yoper.com www.suse.com xboxrulz

Gentoo's awesome man. Fastest distro on the net. I (being a newbie programmer at the time) started with the precompiled package, but it still goes very fast. Hard to setup, but it's worth it. Fedora's ok from what I've heard, haven't tried it, but I think it's less popular than its predecessor Red Hat 7 because of several issues.

Indeed. Like I said, Linux Questions or Linux Forum are good palces. Linux Forum has an IRC channel if you can't wait for support, also. Thanks for the rep point Nova

I'm right now docked with SuSE and might advance to Gentoo, but the handbook is SO confusing, it's like installing UNIX (the old one)! I like Gentoo for it's customizability and I like SuSE for being the most easy "real" Linux distro and that it uses RPM, which is easy for me to install stuff. xboxrulz

I have gentoo for a some ime, and I don't want anything else. It is fast and stable, but if you are not sure about instaling it don't. It is hard to install. If you don't know what is fstab, or how to configure lilo or grub manualy dont try this. On the other side Debian and Slackware are fast, stable and easyest to install. Fedora? I dodn't try it but I don't like it and i still don't know why.

Asp.net Hosting On Linux Servers?

stupid (personal opinion), as most otherf MMORPG in which everything I do is killing monsters to get
better weapons and higher levels to kill more monsters. Of course you can do the same in Auteria, if
you want... but besides that it's really nice and you can do a lot of other thing....

If Mac Osx Is Best With Hardware, Where Does Linux Lie?

performance out of your components. I hear a lot about Mac OSX being so much better with Intel

bunch of crap and ran with it. I don't think there are actual comparable benchmarks, but if
there are, where does Linux lie in the hardware efficiency race? (Or is it dependent on which Linux
distribution it is, like how XP still beats Vista in performance?)....
What Made You Switch To Linux?

very user friendly and Windows-like. After reading through a bunch of message boards and learning
which distros are good for what, I soon realized my current distro was great for Linux noobs. So
then I decided to try something a little more advanced like Slackware which I knew had a steep
learning curve. Since then I've been using Slackware as my main OS and couldn't ....
Ubuntu Linux As Free Operating System Alternative

to use. One of the problems with learning Linux is that a lot of users have an attitude that Linux
should be a free Windows knock off which it is not. Ubuntu is build on a Linix core or kernel and is
a different Open Source and free as in to use operating system. This brings us to t....
