  2. Re:Debian by Mr2cents · · Score: 1 · on Novell Linux Desktop 9 Vs. Redhat Enterprise WS?

    I recently installed a Debian system for some windows user. I was surprised how easily he managed to deal with it, he had only had a basic unix course at school.

    I explained him by phone how to format an extra drive and put it in fstab, he did just fine after a minute of explanation.

    In my opinion Debian is quite easy to manage once properly set up, then awaits the task of reading hundreds of man-pages and HOWTO's over the next couple of years. Imho that's the best way to get a profound understanding of GNU/Linux, and if you want to manage a server in a professional environment, a good understanding is what you should be aiming at. In the meantime, everything already installed just keeps working.

    BTW, a system administrator shouldn't wet his pants when he has to change a setting in a config file. Most config files are very clear and are overly documented (and the ones that aren't usually don't need to be changed). In fact most of the time I prefer config files over graphical tools. Just give him some encouraging words and he'll get over that mental barrier.

    I'll conclude with an article from linuxmagazine.com, you might find it interesting:

    If I may throw my $0.02 into the mix...

    Linux Magazine has a "LAMP Post" section in their magazine. It is usually well written and older months are available here.

    Moreover, I read Linux Magazine cover to cover (multiple times usually) faithfully every month. There is information in there for everyone.

    not that I'm a friend of EGM anymore (it's totally gone to crap after Steve, Ed, Martin and Sushi left. RIP the original Review Crew), but I do have to disagree with you. If you would recall a recent issue of EGM where they reviewed Superman. The main editor of the mag (john Davidson or something), gave it a 0.5 out of 10... Stating that it should get at least half a point for just booting up. The kicker is, the magazine had been hawking it up for months. it was hysterical. They also gave low points to Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver because of the fact that it was unfinished... and they had a huge feature on it a few issues back. Luckily, there are still things at EGM that won't change, such as:

    THQ is a half-assed outfit.
    Acclaim games will always suck.
    Movie-Based Games will always suck (except Goldeneye).
    Games based on licenses (spawn, McKids, etc) will suck worse than a broken hoover.

    I do have to agree with you on the "Linux VS. NT" test, as they borked it all up. Although I really don't think they were "paid" by micro$haft, they most likely fixed the outcome to stay in microsoft's favor. Considering all the "alternative OS" crap they've been mentioning, Microsoft's gotta be pretty peeved at their little llamas.

    For official Magazines, here's my picks:
    PC: Maximum PC. they like linux, and are pretty straight-up. They even interviewed Linus Torvalds in their last issue of Boot (when they were still called that).
    Linux: either Linux Magazine or Maximum Linux.
    PC Gaming: PC Accelerator. good, and funny.
    Console Gaming: GameFan. They're also keen on emulation (as seen by www.vintagegaming.com)
