Just installed the Fedora Core 5 iso onto the same HD as Vista. It works great and is a great improvement from 3 which I had over a yr ago. Also trying out Ubuntu as well. Anyone trying out any other flavors at the moment?

Rep Power: 3 | i wouldn't go that far oulzac lol. It's a good distro though. I'm using KDE right now with FC5 b/c mythTV is easier to configure in it. Gnome is also really good. I think they are both 50-50(KDE/Gnome that is).
I heard a rumor that SUSE was going to start going commercial, I think it's a rumor though.

Rep Power: 3 | they are going commercial, they just released SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 wich is a paid version, but they will still release a non commercial version aswell. FC5 is basicly the same thing in a way, suse was based on red hat. The only thing I am not a fan of is gnome, for some reason I have never liked it on any desktop, especialy on ubuntu. if you want a fun experiance check out http://distrowatch.com/ and play with some of the not so populare distros.

Rep Power: 3 | I'm sure it would work under FC5, if you want me to figure out how, just let me know what the software was.
