If the subject line confuses, or indicates, best of
distros, the body of the email isn't.
What I am interested to know, is which distro among
Fedora Core would be best for the hardware
configuration I have
I plan to buy a new HDD and interested to know, which
Redhat / Fedora Distro would be best
Microprocessor: Pentium IV 1.7 GHz
RAM: 256 MB DDR
Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse
SAMTRON 15" Monitor
SONY CD-RW CRX23EE 52x / 32x / 52x
Realtek Ethernet Card
(here comes the odd part)
ASUS Motherboard P4S333VM
SiS 7012 Soundcard
SiS 650 onboard Graphics card
Though the sound card was detected in Redhat 9.0 (the
one I am using currently), none of the sound modules
(arts, ALSA) worked properly.
I am not interested in Debain Distros because, I have
absolutely no idea of a lot of things. Once, I have
some introduction (through different sources on the
internet), I'll dual boot...
But, can I dual boot among different distro's
Something like Debian, Ubuntu, OpenSuSE 10.2?
Also, if anyone has used GAIM on MTNL TRIBAND, please
let me know.
I also plan to buy a new keyboard. Any suggestions for
a new keyboard ? (Simple ...no MM)
I would suggest you should definitely go for Fedora 5 . Its just the
best of all the Fedoras (atleast I have experienced so). Hardware
detection is just great unless you have any exotic hardware...and you
dont seem to have any. I never had a sound problem with Fedora. And
in RH9 the sound problem is very common , many of my friends' and even
my college comp went without sound in RH9...and SUSE10.0 too.
Networking with ADSL/PPPOE is a breeze in fedora . Triband will work
just fine...and gaim too.
Also my MM Keyboard works fine in Fedora with the iTouch plugin for
XMMS. I couls not get MM keys to work in Ubuntu Dapper at all.
