Re: Recommended Linux Distro
As often as these threads pop-up let me state that I will never tire of them, they are much more refreshing than the "What's the best antivirus", "What virus is this?", or "What's the best firewall" threads that seem to saturate the security and Win32 forums. |

I agree there.
OT: I would say use Mint, though. It's based off of Ubuntu, but it has many useful things included with it that Ubuntu does not. I wish I was on Mint, but I don't feel like redoing my system again this week :P
Hey, SirMeowMix, what would you say is the best distro for learning some more advanced features? CentOS with Gnome? Fedora? OpenSUSE?

I understand. I am a Mac user and frequent the appropriate group. I find myself with a PC and the choice between trashing it or getting some use running Linux. I could have done a better job googling but finding two people kind enough to shoot a fast reply set me on the right path. My next question, if any, will be well researched and very specific. |

Oh no no, you're reading into what I wrote incorrectly. Rather, it was me pointing a egotistical finger at the Win32 folks not at your question. The "What distro" comes up quite often here, but again, I'll never get tired of it and will freely volunteer my opinion. You're doing just fine, please don't read any negative connotation towards what I wrote directed at you. |

I am (overly) sensitive to the "did you google it" and RTFM first approach that's so common. Before posting I knew the question was pretty general if not ignorant, just wanted to acknowledge that. I am taking one crack at turning into a Hackintosh, if that fails I have the Ubuntu disc ready to load. |
