Well first of all I would like to thank all for their input on the various distros.
I've been using Linux off an on for years going back to Red Hat 3.3... back
when installing linux could be a weekend endeavor. After giving up on RH
back around 6 or so I started using Suse 4.xx I guess more because it was
a gift than anyting else. I dabbled with Mandrake and a few other distros
for a year or so but never really found any that impressed me enough to
stop using Suse. But over the last few Suse versions it always seems like there
is something preventing me from running an application or doing what I
would like to.
do you have examples ?
I'll probably have the same or similar issues with which ever version I chose
but I'll chalk that up to the learning curve of a new distro.
computers are not there yet.
memory capacity is still orders of magnitude behind
multimedia library needs, processing power requires
all kinds tweaks and accelerators, and software development
is largely hampered and misdirected by corporate greed.
it shows in all editions of linux, too.
I'm guessing I'll probably download gentoo to an older laptop and see how it
runs on a machine that has suffered MS bloat for a long time now.
Thanks again for all of the input
is the reason why nobody talks about the e16/e17 specialised and
slim elive linux that everybody is too polite or is it just too new ?
kind regards philippe
