This may not be the forum, or it may get covered every week, but be gentle, I'm new here...
I am looking for some ideas on the best distro to abandon most of Windoze for. Some background..... I ran Mandrake 9.1 for a while. I had some issues around the WEP key for my WiFi, but it seemed like it was fairly stable, and Noob friendly. Forward to HDD crash, and subsequent issues surrounding LiLo, and it was back to WIndoze for a while. Well enough of that.... I have a P5 1.7 Dell from ~2001 that is basically sound. Want to run a distro that is user friendly. Want to end my association with the Gates Empire, the only challenges are my iPod, and digital photos. Any hope of going to one machine? My current windoze o/s is getting flakey (keeps trying to install new hardware every 10-15 sec that doesn't exist...with the subsequent annoying noise and interruptions...) If I need a new box, so be it. Have been playing with Ubuntu. Thoughts? Thanks, Mark Nor Cal -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie
