So what Linux distro should I look into?
Sunday, March 20, 2005 by kona0197 | Discussion: Personal Computing
So I have tried Fedora Core 3 and didn't care for it much! What I am looking for is a easy to use for a noob linux distro that has a easy to use apt get function and is easy to learn. I'm looking into Gentoo and SimplyMepis - should I be looking into any other Distros?

I has been having great time with SimplyMepis. It works even with laptop with 500 mhz AMD k-6 2 with 64 mb ram before 8 mb held for video card.

I use ubuntu, actually the kubuntu version with KDE. I use the Live Version and it really rocks. It "Just Works!" Seriously... I have an HP Laptop and it boots right up, and I have no problems with it at all.

KDE would be the best bet for the user enviroment. That's what I use on Fedora, just go into add/remove and check 'K Desktop Enviroment.'
It really is nicer.

I like Fedora fine. That is what I'm typing this in. IE6, Fedora Core 3. I'm using wine to use IE6.
