So, after an installation, I usually have to spend many hours changing the defaults (this also involves turning off the search doggie and the Office clipboard thing and all the other animated "Can I help you?" annoyances).
#FATE WILDTANGENT LAGGY WINDOWS#
I've seen a number of Windows users get confused by that and wonder "Where are My Documents? Where's Internet Explorer?" Even the quicklaunch toolbar isn't enabled by default.
#FATE WILDTANGENT LAGGY INSTALL#
First of all, when I install it, right away there's nothing on the screen except a recycling bin. What I don't like about XP are its default settings. Control-alt-delete almost always solves any program crashing problems. Windows XP I know there's a tendency sometimes in Linux communities to bash anything Microsoft puts out, but I think Windows XP is an amazing OS for the most part.
I like to stick towards Debian Desktops ) That's barely even beginnign all I've tried, but it's it's all I can actually rememebr seeing XD Slackware - It's ok as well, nothign special to me Xandros/Lycoris - I don't really care for either I need to figure out why it doesn't work right for me though Knoppix - Still keep it around, very nice CD to keep!ĭSLinux - No, just no, I liek hteir idea, but God, come on, it's interface SUCKS it's gonna get my dad to move (most likely), so it's ok in my book!ĭebian Sarge - <3, it's setup to dual boot my Ubuntu in case I feel like a change from nice and easy to getting down and dirty Note: I'm still with Ubuntu, the procedding were all tested on other computers (these are in no order) Kubuntu - Nice, probably my favorite KDE distro SuSE - My first disro on my personal computer, dual booted with 2kįedora - My first GNOME distro, pretty nice I'll admit Mandrake (Mandriva) - Helped me more once I was done with Red Hat Red Hat - Nice product, got me into most of this Linux no GUI - You would be amazed if you ran a system without a GUI, it would make you realize the true power the terminal has to offer. Win 2k - The best Win yet, and is still so I've got a little list going, so I won't post much detail ) Please post your experiences with any OS you have ever used :) I accually didnt use it long enough to recommend it or not as I deleted it and installed ubuntus grub again so I could see ubuntu and XP. As with all linux versions its bad at anything under 1024*768. KDE normally has many programs for one job as in mepis had 3 text editors. Mepis seemed to have a nice set of programs but I didnt like the fact it used KDE. Into the OS, I did very much like how I could click on a. It didnt detect my monitor/graphics very well as it only got to 800*600 but aysiu said that it can be easily fixed. It is not nearly as cool looking as ubuntu but its not bad. The ubuntu grub shows XP and ubuntu but to mepis. I tried it again and it worked but it didnt show ubuntu or XP with the mepis grub. I made a 6gb partition today and installed it. Sometimes I make it all the way, sometimes it takes me 6 trys. For me often it wont start up, almost gets there then restarts.
Windows XP - This is much better then ME to me though it is definitally not worth 130$. Windows ME - As everyone knows, crashes all the time. I think one topic about peoples experiences with other OSes and other linux distros is well needed.
