Re: Enlightenment (or not!)

Hi,

I've now reinstalled RH6.1 using the 'KDE workstation' option and most of my
problems seem to have gone away! It seems funny how people can get so
attached to one variant of linux or another - I have no real committment one
way or the other. I started with Red Hat because an application I wanted to
use had been written on a RedHat system and all the initial installation
help files were specifically aimed at this. However, when I decided to build
a second linux machine, I thought it might be fun to try a different distro
and so I tried SUSE 6.3 which was an absolute disaster. I thought the
installation system was most unhelpful and, after failing to get a system up
and working in a reasonable fashion, I gave up. I then tried Mandrake with
pretty much the same results. Corel I couldn't get to load at all. So, I
fell back on RH6.1 which almost installs itself and hasn't yet failed to
build a system which would run. I haven't tried any of the other distros
simply because I don't have the CDs but, in the opinion of this novice,
RedHat 6.1 takes some beating.

Now, there's this urban legend that debian is hard to install
going round (and this other one that Linux == Red Hat). Honestly, I've
installed Mandrake, RH, Corel and Debian, and none of them seemed better
than the other to install
