Choosing a desktop Linux distro<\/a>
\n<\/p>\n

I like Mandriva … well actually I like mandrake, but they changed their name\/merged with another company. I’m not quite as sure about it ever since the merger.<\/p>\n

Still to date it’s the best distro out there I’ve found. I can urpmi and get it installed usually within 60 seconds and I’m on my way.<\/p>\n

I’ve played with red hat, and if it was the only distro out there, I’d still be an avid windows users.<\/p>\n

I’ve played with gentoo, but emerge while has some great abilities when it comes to compiling everyting, as well as system wide updates. It just took too long to install\/build new packages.<\/p>\n

So I’m sicking with mandrake\/Mandriva.<\/p>\n

I really *really* like knoppix. It’s a lovely idea, and I’ve used it. For the most part all the same programs I normally run are there.<\/p>\n<\/package>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
