Posted March 2, 200520 yr I'm looking at putting linux on an older computer (1.2 ghz celeron, 192 mb RAM) for learning, and I was wondering what the best types are. I just downloaded slackware, because I've heard good things about it. Also heard good stuff about redhat. Anyways, if you guys have any recommendations, let me know.

March 2, 200520 yr lol, i think slackware is a bit too advanced for you. start with something nubish like mandrake or redhat.
March 2, 200520 yr I think it's funny how you think he's stupid before he has said anything. We know because he drinks canadian beer

March 2, 200520 yr I started on Slackware and although it has a much higher learning curve it forces you to actually learn some things. Mandrake and Red Hat Fedora are good places to start for someone seeking a friendly experience.
March 2, 200520 yr If your just looking for something to use instead of windows, use Redhat. If you're going to hack use PHLACK... its free and comes with assloads of documents: http://www.phlak.org
March 2, 200520 yr Author OK thanks for the help. I think I'll have a look at Redhat to get used to the very basics, then move over to Slackware if I'm decent with Redhat. It's not that I'm uncomfortable around computers (I'm A+ Certified >.<) It's just that I've never used a linux comp before. Anyways, thanks for the advice.
March 2, 200520 yr You have drank too much canadian beer to know :bash: You haven't got very good english :bash: Its YOU not "YUO" lol what's it like being an asshole. don't worry, look in the mirror, and tell yourself tomorrow
March 2, 200520 yr (I'm A+ Certified >.<) OMG...you teh first person I ever knows to have such a thing.

March 2, 200520 yr http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/iso/ Fedora Core 3. It runs great on my shitty 2ghz celeron laptop. Fedora Core 3 is the best all round Linux distribution. I use it on my Desktop when I am not playing games, and it works great. Fedora Core wont let you down for gaming either, providing you have the right stuff. Unreal Tornament 2004(on the Windows CD, not MAC), Wolfestien Enemy Territory(Free), and America's Army(Free) all work nativley on Linux. You can use Cedega to translate Windows only games, but you must pay $5 a month for that (still beats the Windows OEM price). You also must have a nVidia graphics card, because nVidia is the only company that makes Linux 3D accelerated drivers. ATI dosen't belive in Linux technology. I really hate Windows, but I am one of the few people who do something about it.
March 2, 200520 yr ATI has linux support. It's just, well, hard to get them installed right. On this comp (9600 on it), I can't for the fucking life of me get the ATI drivers to work. I've heard some people HAVE gotten them to work, and it works just fine.
March 3, 200520 yr Author OMG...you teh first person I ever knows to have such a thing. I NOES!1111! Gabe Newell offered me a job to fix his computer for 892582495 doolars cuz i am the only person in teh world with such a thing!1!!!!!
March 3, 200520 yr what's it like being an asshole. don't worry, look in the mirror, and tell yourself tomorrow It's pretty funny being an asshole. Wonder how you don't know because you're bigger asshole than me... And that first that you quoted wasn't being an asshole, me and housemaster had a little beerfight... So, keep it up, faggot
March 3, 200520 yr go here to learn about the different types of linux http://www.allabouttux.com bastard... you got me ><

I've heard some people HAVE gotten them to work, and it works just fine. ATI has generic Linux drivers, unsupported. They cannot run 3D applications with full acceleration, making 3D impossible or very, very slow.
