Gui And Debian

[cgkanchi]

It seems like the three of us get into distro wars too often . Slack and Gentoo have been a source of numerous discussions, ok flames, between me and shrekkie on IRC.

SuSE comes with Vi just like every other version, so you can still edit configuration files by hand, as I have done. But when I'm running late, I don't have the time to sit and go through it by hand sometimes. But I have, so don't say SuSe makes you not want to learn. I've learned a lot on SuSE. You could always type "init 3".

Speak for yourself . I used RedHat for years and learned less than when I used Slack for a month. I at least am too lazy to learn how to edit stuff by hand unless I have to. I have a feeling that that's true for a lot of people. Slack has taught me a hell of a lot about Linux and I'm sticking with it, even if it's just for the loyalty factor.

Cheers,

You know, out of all the things you've called me, I think American has hurt the most.

So and where did I EVER ripped something before I tried it ?

...I was pointing out that I did at least try it before saying anything about it. Who's the American here?

You just can't stand I left Suse for Gentoo.

Basically.

I've been nice enough

SuSE has no minimal? Hmm, silly me, the 300 times I've installed it I must have been imagining that I saw "Minimal install" on the screen, and in the books. Something that allows a 400 MB or so install.

400Mb?!? Call that a "minimal install"?

And not to mention SuSE has licensed software in it, which is why when you do FTP installs, some things are missing.

As I said before, apart from the licensed software (which I don't want anyway) there is nothing in SUSE that you can't get off the Internet. Yes, it comes in a pretty box with 2000 applications, but you're never going to use 90% of them (if that).

Some of you really do not care about Linux in general, if you did, you'd see that for Linux to excel, it can NOT be that damned hard to use, or no one will want to except us.

SUSE is an excellent choice for people new to Linux, Red Hat for those people who know a bit about Windows, partitioning etc. and want to have a slightly more technical introduction - whereas Slackware and Gentoo are for those of us who want more precise control over our system.
