Yeah, so Gutsy sucks!!! I'm back to Feisty now and lovin it. Gutsy kept crashing X and my agettys were black even though they loaded. Much more than that. I think I'll skip Gutsy and wait for the next release.

Your precious Fedora is really starting to irritate me and I haven't even got to try it yet! lol. I don't wana download a DVD. You know we got a netinst CD image in Debian. Its a couple hundred mb's in size. It takes me 5 minutes to install and then after its over, I TELL IT WHAT ELSE I WANT and it downloads the rest thru the internet. No wasted bandwidth, no wasted hard drive, no slow and irritating live CD. LOL, sorry for the rant. I'm sure Fedora is just fine for most, but they're making it hard on people that want a bit more control during install.

Wow, complete lack of action here. Especially with Ubuntu coming out in 5 days and Fedora coming out in 25 days

I've been noticing alot of people jumping ship from Ubuntu to Debian. Just a couple a day, but thats good enough. We can't have everyone using Debian. Then it would be all over digg.com and then I'd have to find another distro!

I am running strictly Fedora right now. 2 machines with 7, 1 with 8T3

I STILL need to try Fedora. I'm going to do that this weekend.

actionM says:

Well I tried... again. I still get this error everytime. I have 30 gigs of free space on that drive. I select the option to automatically install fedora on to the freespace. I've done a tripple boot before with 2 versions of Debian and winXP and also Ubuntu, ArchLinux. I just don't understand why this isn't working.

Come to think of it, I've never had any luck with live CD's. I may try a netinstall next.

So I removed Window completely from my computer setups, and now run Fedora 7, Ubuntu, and Kubuntu. Debian installer is downloading and will probably be installed somewhere. I'm turning into a distro whore

You should probly stop at Debian :) And I still need to try Fedora out. Maybe next year, I'm pretty damn happy with Debian.

tw2113 says:

SO, here's my setup. Fedora and Debian on desktop, Ubuntu on tablet. I didn't want to risk ruining my entire tablet setup by partition error, so I just overwrote Kubuntu

actionM says:

You should run kde on debian and let us know if its more stable than your kubuntu. It was when I tried it a few months back. I'd like to know how kubuntu has progressed.

Who needs a desktop environment? I run Fedora 7 and just login to the Failsafe terminal every time...

tw2113 says:

I probably never give KDE a fair amount of time, but I keep getting frustrated with finding stuff with it, and switch back to gnome

posted Jul 30


actionM says:

Yeah me too. I just like using a few of the K apps. What I do is install xfce4 and then use the K apps like, ktorrent, amarok, k3b, kate, krita, digikam, kpdf. All are really nice. I used to use nothing but gnome apps, but gnome gets boring after a while and KDE seems a bit to much.

posted Jul 30


Fyorl says:

I prefer KDE mainly because I'm used to it and I really like Konqueror. However due to my earlier comment I think I can say that I take a neutral stance when it comes to desktop environments...

. says:

I prefer many of the K apps, thus I tend to use KDE, though i prefer GNOME's design.

posted Aug 9


actionM says:

SNickau you should try the xfce4 and kde combo like i do. The xfce desktop with the K apps just go together so much nicer than gnome with k apps.

posted Aug 9


. says:

Hmm, i guess that's a neat idea as XFCE is a lot less resource hungry and defaults to fewer GTK apps..

I'll give it a go, thanks

Fyorl says:

Ooh and as for KTorrent, if you head over to the uTorrent download page you'll see that it is stated that it explicitly works under Wine (that's the first time I've ever seen that actually). I can also confirm this as uTorrent is my choice of torrent client.

Last night I downloaded one called Transmission. I'll have to check it out more but it looks decent

Hi guys. What do you think of my little OpenSuSE how-to article: From pile of hardware to bleeding edge 3D desktop environment?

It looks real nice. I don't use openSuse or 3D desktop environments so I didn't read it. But I did click a few advertisements for ya :)

Fyorl says:

Nice work, I'll need to take a note of this so I can send it to some friends so they can see how Linux compares with Windows.

And yes, Konqueror does rock ;)

Podcasting...it's the new hotness depending on where you put your thermometer. Anyone know of good Linux podcasts that are still updated regularly? I have a nice list so far but I want to expand.

Open News is good too, and when it's on, FLOSS Weekly at TWiT is decent.
