yes, I said OpenBSD just to add my own humor to the post, but yes it does have the smoothest install, around 10-15 minutes over a broadband, and 6-10 minutes over CD or local disk, and the ports tree, ahh the ports tree... me love it long time
I think that when starting out with linux, you must ask yourself what you will be doing, be it, starting a server, or just keeping it as your desktop, you must look at everything.
If you are an experienced computer user, that is comfertable with partitioning then, grab a distro like debian, or slakware, if you are new to the whole idea of resizing your HDD, then go with Redhat or Mandrake, they come with tools for setting up a loopback, come with graphical installs, and provide a good explanation of how and why you are doing certian things....
Well all thats fine as long as I can still record my pr0n from showtime and cinemax... but knowing them they would set "record never" flags on every show except for that "two fat ladies show"
Oh and the lifetime network, and Oxygen
no one in there right mind would even think about recording from that program line-up....
Wow, then you are the few and the proud, my sys admin is really dull, although cool, he lets me test security out and basicly gives me free reign over our small network, although It strikes me odd that I have my certs for novell (novell/nt network) and he cant even get his A+....
Yes, I agree that was my sarcastic side, I actually spend every friday, seeing how I can tweaking my OpenBSD and Debian Distros..
Other than that I go see movies with our 2600 meeting, and try to pick chicks up with the "hey, ever see someone that can decipher 16 bit encryption in his head?" Usually my date is Palmala and her 5 Friends
Well, this now proves that most teachers do not know the full potential of their students, if this was a decent comp. teacher he would of noticed the tell tale signs of a hacker, you know, the backwards cap, baggy clothes, copy of 2600, skating around on rollerblades with a microcassete redbox, always talking about his date with acid burn.
