Gryph Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 That blows... wasn't Nezumi going to write a Linux guide? Where is he when I need him?
ugenn Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 (edited) Is it true that Linux can't read NTFS? I was thinking of installing Linux on a partition I just made on my new hdd but its NTFS.It can. Write support is possible too (although a little limited). It's just that some distros like Redhat (I haven't touched RH for some time, the newer Fedora Core may have them) do not come with the NTFS driver due to legal reasons. edit: Linux can access an NTFS drive but you can't actually INSTALL Linux on it.

Wizard Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 My friend using openbsd says it's easier then what he was running before. It also includes hangman! Play the game to make your PC restart!

RH (Fedora Core) is server centric, Slackware and Debian are more for powerusers.
ugenn Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 how about freebsd can someone gevie some info about it tooGet a Mac if you want to use FreeBSD on the desktop.
alexis Posted July 15, 2004 Author Posted July 15, 2004 i am not buying anything, i am El Cheapo greatest fan. hehe, anyway i am new to linux but i consider mayself a power user so i guess i will install slackware. i will probably buy get both slackware and debian. if i am not wrong that´s 2 cds and 3cd respectively.
