ok well generally distributiuons like Slackware and Debian are for more experienced users, where as distributions like Mandrake, Red Hat, Caldera, and Corel are for less experienced people because they have alot of scripts to automate things like configuration of hardware, or setting up an internet connection, etc. They usually have a very simple installation process too, where as distributions like Peanut Linux are simple to use, but aren't so simple to install because disk partitioning and making the filesystems needs to be done manually by you.
Hope this gives you a bit of an idea. -----Original Message----- From: C< su [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, 28 January 2002 9:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SLUG] newbi hi and greeting i'm new to linux, i read lost of newbies books, but they all recomment different distrubution of linux... can someone please tell me what linux distrubtion and whats for the pros _________________________________________________________________ Join the world's largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug Searching for "A Better Way" to a home loan ?.
