  13. Re:Choice is at odds with design on The Paradox of Choice · · Score: 0

    well that is one of the major reasons that different distros exist the people make them go through (typically) most of the design decisions left by the programmers and come up with a simple and clean interface. which distro to use is about as complex of a task almost but there are a few main choices, the rest are mostly specialty/niche distros (floppy based, livecd, etc.)

    Debian - considered one of the easier ones but the install can put you off

    Mandrake - i'd say by far the simplest one to get going and have a default and working OS in the shortest amount of time, (though i've always had problems with upgrading software)

    Gentoo - Takes the longest to get going, and like debian the initial setup might be a bit of a turn off.

    Knoppix - Debian based, livecd but can be installed to the hard drive. probably the coolest one of them (whole thing loads off a CD) and should be about as easy as mandrake to get going, and easier to get things updated.

    the other main distros i don't really know a whole lot about, if i was recommending a distro to someone i'd recommend them try out knoppix for the lowest risk to their data and the easiest way to get started and familiar with it (just burn the cd and reboot)

    here it is for those of you who couldn't find it.

    Madonna Wanted In Pakistan
    ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP), 12 Feb 95 -- In a bizarre reaction to the extradition of Ramzi Yousef, a suspect in the World Trade Center bombing, Pakistan's small, but powerful religious party demanded Sunday that American superstars, Michael Jackson and Madonna, be sent here to stand trial as terrorists.

    "Michael Jackson and Madonna are the torchbearers of American society, their cultural and social values ... that are destroying humanity,"said Nematullah Khan, a divisional chief of Jamaat-e-Islami or Party of Islam, a fiercely anti-American group.

    "They are ruining the lives of thousands of Muslims and leading them to destruction, away from their religion, ethics and morality," he said. [(C) 1995. The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.]
