Dennis Myers said onto me: ------------------------------------------------------------------ |Just spent a couple of days (off and on) trying to install the new ELX distro |that is supposed to be so like windows that everyone will use it. Well I |wouldn't hardly install on a 4gig HD so I went to the 8gig HD and installed |it there. Everything seemed to go well but once it rebooted it would not give |me a xserver. No GUI. I have tried several different ways to get it going |and no matter what I get the old font error message. The whole thing is a |long way from "intuitive" and in my estimation, only a experienced linux user |will be able to install it successfully, beginners luck not included in that |statement. The whole attempt just to see where they were at with ELX has |made me appreciate Mandrakesofts' efforts all the more. We can complain about |the little things, mostly our own doing and some due to hardware configs, |but, as a general rule, MANDRAKE LINUX 8.2 ROCKS! IMHO. and just my two |cents worth. I probably will never know what the ELX distro looks like. Oh |well, cheers |-- |Dennis M. linux user #180842 | | ------------------------------------------------------------------ Just to piggy-back on Dennis' post..... I have been playing with various distros recently too. I have tried JB-Linux, ASP-Linux, Demo-Linux, ALT-Linux, Peanut, Caldera, Free BSD, SuSE Live Eval, and a few years ago, I tried Redhat 6.1 (never again on one of MY _desktops_). Of all the above only Peanut, and AltLinux have installed seamlessly w/ GUI and all. AltLinux is *blatantly* derived (read: copied) from Mandrake, and I never got Samba working on it. And Peanut is so stripped down......put it this way, the entire distro downloads as about a 161MB ISO. No thanks,......I'll stick with Mandrake. -- 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� David L.
