In the hour of 11:54 AM 9/10/2004, Jason Arroyo spoke this:
Ok, I want to hear about the various recipies for full-function Linux setups from the people who have them out there...
Want to know the following: - Linux variant
Have been a SuSe die hard but am using FreeBSD <http://www.freebsd.org/> which is Unix, not Linux
- PC specs (be brief here)
Dell Dimension v400 Celeron 400mhz, 128 mb ram, 30 gb hdd, 8 mb onboard video
- Utilities and apps for office productivity
ee, emacs, AbiWord, or Openoffice.
- Browser
Opera or Mozilla
- Any emulators/shells you use on your Linux box
Linux on FreeBSD! ;-) But seriously you can emulate anything on FreeBSD http://www.freebsd.org/ports/emulators.html
- Spyware apps
None.
- Antivirus for Linux
None. Unless I run it as an email or routing server then I can configure it so.
- Imaging/publishing/viewing tools
The Gimp
- Anything else typically found on a full-featured XP Box
FreeBSD is not a desktop system, it's a server for most of it's usage. Most web sites use Apache on FreeBSD.
The goal is to see who has the best setup that retty much does anything a good XP setup does.
Then again Apple's OS X is built on FreeBSD technology <http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/unix/>. Mac OS X does many thing XP does, and many things XP cannot do.
