FAO Geeks: Linux
Which flavour of Linux should I install?
I'm currently downloading the latest version of Ubuntu. It's what I've always used. What are the others like?
Also: anyone tried to get Spotify working under linux? I'm sure it can be done.
So linux. yeah.
Who's a fan?
Oh man, you lot are SHHHIIIIIIIITE geeks.
Hello geek here...
I've used Red Hat and Suse at work out of those two Suse is a lot more user friendly.
Only used the server versions though, thinking about getting a Linux Netbook when I get paid though.
Ubunu or Linux Mint
I would switch to Linux Mint if they offered a studio version.
I wil laid you in your spotify request if you send me an invite
you don't need invites anymore
anyone can sign up
arch linux
if you want a really fast and lightweight distro. it makes it relatively simple to build up the packages you need from pretty much scratch, and you'll learn loads along the way. it's also pretty stable and has rolling releases, i.e. you'll never have to one big update to a new version.
Ubuntu just does NOT WANT TO INSTALL
it takes aaagggeeesss to get to the setup screen and when I eventually get there my trackpad doesnae work.
bastards.
the discs seem fine. i've made two to see if that was the problem but it doesn't seem like it.
i've had ubuntu on this laptop before and it worked a treat.
bastards.
