Alessandro17 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 What is really Ubuntu? It is a lot of perspiration That is because "sudo" means in Italian and in Spanish: "I sweat" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scj312 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 LOL, every Linux distro is just sweat Though, the feature you mention about OpenSUSE in your sig is available in both XP and Vista Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro17 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Though, the feature you mention about OpenSUSE in your sig is available in both XP and Vista Yes I know, but it works in a different way. Besides I have never tried the Vista one, but the XP one leaves a mess behind (and it doesn't always solve the problems), a reinstall is always better.

Alessandro17 Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 When you know how to use it correctly and efficiently, you don't sweat anymore. It's very natural Indeed, but if an operating system is buggy, you should be a dev and patch all the bugs yourself. That is plenty of sweat!

FrankOS_Scripting Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Slackware is good for the old KDE and basic functionnalities but it's stay a bit boring. Kinda starter distro whitout a tons of "extras". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBrown Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 To each his/her own I guess. After monkeying around extensively with both Suse 10.3(don't know about 11.0) and Ubuntu 8.04, I will admit that Suse is more aesthetically pleasing. Having said that, I found Ubuntu much easier to tweak and solutions to issues were more easily found for Ubuntu vs Suse, via Google, at least that was my personal experience. This may explain why Ubuntu is more popular than Suse based on downloads as per distrowatch. http://distrowatch.com/ Not trying to flame anyone, just my 2 cents.

Alessandro17 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Well, I'm kinda in the middle. I can't be all SuSE because of Slackware. Well, for that matter I am a Debianite as well (and beginning to think that Mandriva is great too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob356 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I Love openSUSE 11. That's what I use on my (older) laptop. I've tried others, slackware, ubuntu, but I like openSUSE better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro17 Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Slackware is good for the old KDE and basic functionnalities but it's stay a bit boring. Kinda starter distro whitout a tons of "extras". Slackware is a fine distro, but people would use it a lot more if it had a package manager withy dependency solving and more packages. Many typical Slackware users have moved to Arch. I wish Patrick could make some concession to modernity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankOS_Scripting Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Novell would be top gun with openSUSE and today Alex, I installed the 11 with KDE. It's on an old IBM Netvista P4 and I was quit excited. Before I saw there is no way out to higher my resolution than staying at 800x600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro17 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 there is no way out to higher my resolution than staying at 800x600. That is one of the main problems with openSUSE: Sax2 needs to be rewritten from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some devs took it into their own hands and made slapt-get which is pretty useful and stable IF you know how to manipulate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running With Scissors Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Ubuntu is a good way for people to try and possibly learn something other than Windows and is a good stepping stone to the open OS world. Im not saying it is the best distro but the are always people more than willing to help you get to grips with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
