Re: How to pick a distro?

[Peter <heisspf@skyinet.net>]

Hi,

having read all the replies I would almost be scared to go to a Linux OS. It 
is not that difficult at all. With Fedora I would call the installation a 
child's or grandma's play, however, would recommend to do the partitioning 
yourself after having read how to go about it.

As for me slackware is even easier and faster to install, however, can be 
bitchy afterwards. I have used SUSE once a long time ago so I can not speak of 
it today. At that time I was not impressed.

When I switched to Linux I had no one to consult at all. Bought RedHat 5.2 
which had just come out, read carefully how to install, the had a very 
comprehensive handbook, and have been with Linux ever since. There were some 
problems in the beginning an account of my ignorance. I had only 16 MB RAM, a 
very small HD and forgot what of a slow cycle of the processor resulting at 
times in application crashes and what I call memory-run-aways.

So just do it.

Regards
