haha well my choice in distro would be much different than what would suit you, i think. some ppl use slackware, others hate it. personally, i would never use ubuntu, but its great for people who are new to linux. really its up to you. ubu is a good start, if you want to learn as little as possible. if you arent afraid of learning a bit, fedora might be better.
i could go on and on, so dont start me unless you want to read a 15 page post![]()
im running mint 7 gloria 32gummybear said:hey linux is easy. all it is is a paradigm shift. people fear what they dont know, plain and simple. why try something new and scary when you can just deal with the problems you know about in your existing system...
whatever, im not trying to go on a holy war. f**k m$, f**k apple, f**k all that bullshit that everyone deals with on a daily basis but doesnt care enough about to try to change. if you like linux, do it. plain and simple
@audacia actually in my experience mint7 64bit has problems with nvidia proprietary drivers, but i havent tried 9.04.
