shimon Share Posted April 20, 2004 You can vote for "other" and post what you use. I started the poll then it got merged into this thread edit: BTW i did vote for mandrake not making a new post for that because it may be counted as spAm. Link to post Share on other sites

Rushnak Share Posted May 1, 2004 Mandrake was my first linux distro, i loved it. It was so easy to install (and fast!) and quite easy to get started and have some fun with it. I haven't got around to using any others at the moment, but i'm sure i will. The next one i think i'll try is slackware/redhat, although Redhat is heavily based on mandrake (or the other way round) I'll still give it a go. peace :pinch: Link to post Share on other sites
shimon Share Posted May 2, 2004 (edited) kustom mandrake was made out of red hat along time ago thats why it use RedhatPackageManager (RPM) Edited May 2, 2004 by shimon Link to post Share on other sites
Malisk Share Posted May 5, 2004 I'm using Mandrake 10 (official, not community)... Seems to be nice enough for me as a Linux noob :) I also wanted that one since it was the only distro in a "non-unstable" build that had kernel 2.6.x out of the box (which I also wanted for noob reasons). I didn't trust a 2.4 kernel since my SATA drive didn't work on Knoppix at least, and I have a feeling it was because of lacking SATA support. Also, the other performance improvements in 2.6 aren't bad either. :D Now everything is working great, except that I don't get a TV out signal. The sound is there though. :) I'm interested in SUSE though and might give that one a shot once 9.1 is released for FTP downloading. Link to post Share on other sites

Kasandoro Share Posted May 6, 2004 What's the best/easiest to set up Samba file server that will support a SiI 680 IDE-PATA Raid? Link to post Share on other sites
Sav Share Posted May 6, 2004 What's the best/easiest to set up Samba file server that will support a SiI 680 IDE-PATA Raid? Look at ClarkConnect, it does the job very well for me. Link to post Share on other sites
Kasandoro Share Posted May 6, 2004 I thought only their commercial version supported RAID...thanks for the suggestion though (I'm already using it for a router, so if it works as a FS with RAID, I'm in!) Link to post Share on other sites
Sav Share Posted May 6, 2004 I thought only their commercial version supported RAID...thanks for the suggestion though (I'm already using it for a router, so if it works as a FS with RAID, I'm in!) ooooh, i don't know for RAID tho, but when you says RAID do you mean a RAID configuration (Strip set with or without parity etc...) or you're talking of a RAID card. Cuz if it's the 2nd one, well I'm using a Promise RAID card into my server and it work perfectly, I've got a total of 6 drive connect into the server right now, the kernel (2.4) detect everything properly and DMA is use at is fullest.

chomps Share Posted May 19, 2004 Still don't know which distro to use... running Redhat 9 all round and want to use RedHat Enterprise 3 for server side and mandrake 10 as workstation. Is this a good choice. Link to post Share on other sites
ActionWes Share Posted May 22, 2004 I am currently using Gentoo, and I think that I have found the distro that I was looking for. Still very new to Linux, but last night (during the Stage1 install) I learned more about Linux than I'd learned in the couple months of using Mandrake (9.2 and 10) So... one more vote for Gentoo!!

Ruciz Share Posted May 22, 2004 If I could figure out dual displays and get my i320 to work in any distro I would be amazed. I only get a mirrored image on both monitors (2 - 1024 by 768 instead of 1 - 2048 by 768) and the i320 is installed on a Win98 box and I get networking done but I have no success in drivers.

amr_01 Share Posted May 24, 2004 i really love gentoo, it's my favorite one, and i have tried a TON of them out. it takes a lot more work to setup then mandrake or redhat, but it's worth it. Link to post Share on other sites
Custom Share Posted May 24, 2004 gentoo is the best distro that i have tried. it does take a while to install and get things the way you like it, but in the end it runs like a charm. Link to post Share on other sites
