Posted August 24, 200618 yr I'm dual booting Linux and Windows, recommended distribution? User friendly please.
August 24, 200618 yr wine . That is not a linux distribution. I like debian, but mainly because thats the only one ive ever used
August 24, 200618 yr I've used SuSE 10.1 and it was excellent. Had trouble getting my modem to work but then I realised the kernel module (ueagle-atm) was already compiled into the kernel. All I needed was the firmware. Apart from that it was really easy to get going with it.
August 24, 200618 yr ubuntu and fedora and very easy to install as dual boot. And they come with everything you will need (word processor and that shit). So I Recommend those... / Typo
August 25, 200618 yr i personally recommend gentoo since the customizability with the kernel you choose upon installation can make a world of differences when you run the os. there are also so many options to choose from during installation even though to install it takes about an hour and can get confusing at times for the average comp user.
August 25, 200618 yr Ubuntu nigggaaaaaaaah. :nigga: :nigga: :nigga: :nigga: :nigga: :nigga: :nigga: :nigga: :nigga: :nigga:
August 25, 200618 yr It depends. Each distro can do the same stuff that every other one can do. But some (i.e. ubuntu) don't come with as many features (i.e. gcc) as (say fedora core) do. But you can download / install them easily commandline via the shell. But you should always read up a bit on linux / try it out with VMWARE, and actually think why you want to use it before you dual boot with it
August 25, 200618 yr Well as hes asking for the name of a distro to use I take it hes a linux nub (no offence) so just use ubuntu/fedora. Don't try to make things hard for yourself installing another distro... or you will fuck j00r pee see. / Typo
August 26, 200618 yr Slackware, be m3nly and use it. Or atleast use a real distro that requires you to compile the kernel and such.

Synaptic Package Manager use it. thx. Get a live CD pop it in and see if you like it. If you dont, it doesnt mess with your precious windows xp installation.

August 27, 200618 yr the new ubuntu you have to install (6.0.6?) even though they claim its a live cd. The older ubuntu's don't and anonymous linux is also free and live.

August 28, 200618 yr i prefer fedora core. but if you want to try some linux versions, get VMware player.
