i just left windows!

and installed fedora core 64bit first time ever i leave bill like this!
so far everything ok beside the fact that i'm not used working without seeing discs and partitions

how many others of you do use linux?

and, what is a good dvd authoring program?

 

I just recently made the switch too. It was somewhat troublesome, but so far, REALLY worth it.

I'm using Ubuntu for AMD64.

I saw a website for a good DVD authoring software the other day but didn't bookmark it. Damn.

 

I would be dual-partitioning and whatnot, but so far I haven't been able to get the Ubuntu Live disc working on my laptop. I'm afraid that I'll go through all the trouble of installing and then screwing up my computer somehow.

I did like Ubuntu when I got it installed on my older computer, even though I know next to nothing about Linux.

 

I only use linux/bsd on webserver. I still use windows on the desktop, although i did have a mac for a while (didnt like it much)

 

if you could find it in your history folder would be great

 

I like to use linux actually, although not for working :/. I got able to install the SGI OS (Iris) on my indy with it, since at first it was diskless and had no cdrom nor floppy disk..you can do lots of things with it that windows will never be able to do, ever. I used the Mandrake distro, but thinking about switching to Debian wich is THE distro, or maybe ubuntu too..

 

I'm using Ubuntu and Kurumin Linux, but still have (and use) Windows.

 

I use slackware for my router/firewall/test-servers unfortantly I don't feel I can switch to linux on my main computer as I need visual studio.

 

Simple is better, but when most of your professional apps and devices work on windows.. having anything else ends up being a pain in the ass on compatibility issues.

 

1 Windows XP Desktop PC
1 iBook G4 with Mac OS X
1 SuSE Linux 10.1 Desktop PC

 

2 much pcs

 

Let's see how SONY does convincing people to use PS3 as a general usage computer

 

You will be back soon! Everyone comes back sooner or later one way or another!

 

run run! Paulo is _BILL_in_disguise!_ aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

please don't send killers to my home!

 

What would be the best way to dual-partition? Is it reversable if I somehow needed the extra space?

I'd like to try a Linux distribution, but I don't want to be stuck with a bootloader or anything.

 

I'm researching on how to make an XP partition (for Photoshop, InDesign and other programs that my job requires me to use).

So far, I plan to use the GParted LiveCD - but I have no idea what or how I'll do, yet.

 

Still looking for a linux distro thats great for those who are used to Windows and how it operates minus its known windows quirks. Basically, easy setup instructions, easy installation. Good compatability with my hardware: Athlon 64 3000, nForce4 mobo, 6600GT, Realtek Sound, realtek NIC, legacy port support, USB..

All the 'good' ones that I seen so far I have to pay for... which defeats the purpose of linux..

 

Madhatter:

Doesn't Ubuntu or DreamLinux suit your hardware?

If your realtek is the one that's included on the motherboard, I think mine has that as well. Your Nvidia card is more advanced than mine, by far. There's 64 bit Ubuntu for your processor.

Try either Ubuntu or DreamLinux from the LiveCDs - they're ready for Nvidia cards (Ubuntu, you might need to get "automatix" to get the Nvidia drivers if you do choose to install to your HD)

 

Linspire is showing a very windows-like look... for the rest i think that everything you have is supported.

 

Hey Karsten, this is the link I saw the other day.

Don't know whether it'll work for you, but it might be what you were looking for to author DVDS.
