red hat/fedora or debian?  |
| |
|  granted, red hat is the de facto standard, but the forking into RHEL & Fedora left much to be desired, and proved that if a business ran linux, sooner or later it's gonna be a money thing. debian remains unforked, that's why my next install is gonna be sarge. i tried ubuntu, but the no-brainer install also puts limits on the customization. can't even figure out how NOT to make ubuntu the default OS. so i'm going pure debian next time...
any thoughts on the matter?

| |  Yeah you should go with debian, as debian is a very stable and a more or less complete linux distro. I have tried Red Hat 9 before and had loads of problems with it. Then I switched over to debian and everything was fine. The reason that makes debian more usefull is its repositories. So, I recommend debian to people who have a bit of experience in linux. Or you can also try Open SUSE.
And if you want an option to NOT to make Ubuntu the default OS, then you should probably use the Alternate Install CD, as
it has an option whether to install or not install a boot loader.

| | I was talking about the full install. I used to run Mandrake and it was easy to tweak LILO into setting Window$ as the default OS, for other users of the PC. If I remember right, the decision was even made during the install. I re-installed Ubuntu a few times looking for that option, and couldn't find any. I was left with having to wait and be alert at boot time to select Windows within the time allotted just to make it boot Window$, all the time... | | | |

| |  RH is de facto standard only for RPM based distros (Mandriva, SuSE), however there is the whole world of Debian based distros (Knoppix, Ubuntu). My first distro was Mandrake 7.0 Then I tried Mandrake 10, SuSE 9.2, Knoppix 3.3 and finally, Debian, Sarge. Now I know what the real Linux is. It is Debian. By the way, Ubuntu is Debian based, too. It is true that it is unforked. But once you get used to it you won't need any RH, SuSE, Mandriva or other RH based stuff. I will love Debian and Debian based distros with all your heart.

| |  i've denebian kubuntu feisty on one half of the hard drive and the other has windows xp for some video applications. i think that there is still plenty of room for innovation in kubuntu and ubuntu, and it's ease of use is a good way to pull newbies into the arms of the penguin.
the fact that there are sooo many distros mean that there is an option for many different people. you can have more than one distro tucked in your hard drive, and for giggles, some are small enough for a pen drive for learning perposes.

| |  Still vote for debian!
Maybe becau I only learn debian at my class, and I didn't now other.
But my teacher said that there's a reason why the university teachs debian.
So debian is good, I presume.

| | Debian for sure. Maybe Ubuntu for desktops. But i prefer Debian for most of the cases, even because I usually use linux on work, and the packages make life a lot easier than having to keep compiling lots of programs and dependencies. | | | | | | |
