Re: [ilugd] [Commercial] Migration to Ubuntu in Delhi
Why not OpenSUSE..? instead of ubuntu..? my guess..ubuntu is preetty much easier to learn, wide user base in comparison to OpenSUSE. Easy package management, clean interface in approx. everything will definitely make newbies comfortable in using/learning: how to use linux effectively. --- On Tue, 10/27/09, Amit Sharma amitsharm...@gmail.com wrote: From: Amit Sharma amitsharm...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [ilugd] [Commercial] Migration to Ubuntu in Delhi To: The Linux-Delhi mailing list ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org Date: Tuesday, October 27, 2009, 10:19 PM Alok G.
