Linux Distros (2 Viewers)

Which and why?

Fedora 11 because I cbf trying the others.

 

[Aquawhite]

Ubuntu 9.10 which is about to come out. Ubuntu is the most advanced and secure and fast of all the linux distributions. Choose Ubuntu (also because the update feature actually works and won't f*** up the computer like many other distros).

Fedora is my second choice imo.

I've only ever used Ubuntu, it was alright, but I couldn't get my wireless card working so gave up on it eventually

No, wireless cards and linux never go together unless it's built in

I live with cable.

yeah true, it was a d-link pci wifi adapter for my desktop machine

Since then, we got an ethernet port installed in my room so im using wired networking now. Might install Ubuntu again in the future, but atm I'm finding Windows 7 to be awesomely good

nah bro. Fedora trumps Ubuntu on security. Ubuntu doesn't even have a firewall on the system.

Hah, proven wrong

+1

[Mudkip94]

Ubuntu

 

[Fermat]

Excuse me? Fedora better than Ubuntu in security?
Ubuntu is the most secure you idiot

oh really??
And here I was thinking Fedora was the most secure....

With Ubuntu, you can download the security programs yourself if you want to.

Yeah, an exclusive feature of ubuntu. Good point.


You know the reason a lot of people use ubuntu is because it's noob-friendly, right?

Anyway, I have nothing against Ubuntu. I'm actually thinking of switching from Fedora. Anyone use OpenSUSE?

 

[Aquawhite]

Well linux has always been viewed as a horrendous computer nightmare until later version of fedora and ubuntu came out which are noob friendly. With Ubuntu you never have to worry about using command but rather it's simple and chic for the everyday user.

 

[mcflystargirl]

I think most ubuntu users would use the command line at some point wouldn't they?

 

[youngminii]

I was under the impression Ubuntu pretty much removes the command line

Almost - it's totally there and functional though... I've had to use it a few times personally for more advanced computing with installments and internet settings (VPN and other arrangements).

.... oh god

You sir are an idiot. Ubuntu is the most basic distribution available. It's defiantly not the most secure and is not the quickest.

@youngmini

Higher user base != more secure.

+ first post.
