1. Best Linux? was Re: Is This Linux?
Hmm.
Everyone has a different opinion on which one is the best.
Makes it hard for a newbie to linux to pick out a good one.
I guess you cant really say wich is best untill you've tried them all.
I have only tried Mandrake 8.2 and Peanut 9.3(wich didnt want to work right)
so as far as I know, Mandrake is the best because if actually works for me.
I dont use it very often though. Someday I probably will.
What is it that makes a person think one version of linux is better than
another ?
Speed?
Stability?
Flexibility?
Cost?
Size?
Popularity?
Graphical User Interface?
Software bundle?
Supported Hardware?
With such a big list of things that there are to consider, I don't think
there is a such thing as the "Best" general-purpose version of Linux. Not
untill one of them comes up on top of ALL categories anyways.

Initially, they offered Lindows on a cheap machine. More recently, they
added
Mandrake. Most of the reviewers seemed to agree that the boxen were a little
*too* low end, and it was better to spend a bit more somewhere else.
Personally, I use Mandrake. It's fairly painless for idiots like me. If you
are curious about Linux, there are a number of 'demo' CD distros that will
boot from a CD, so you don't have to install it on your hard drive to play
with it - Knoppix is pretty much the best one out there.
