Re: Free UBUNTU Linux CDs
It is good, I got 10 CD from them. Takes a while to get it.
Re: Free UBUNTU Linux CDs
I haven't tried that distro yet, but it certainly looks nice.
Been thinking about ordering a batch of those cds but haven't gotten around to it.
Re: Free UBUNTU Linux CDs
Just installed SuSe and it does look cool.
Had Mandriva installed the other day, t\was nice also but theres some registration stuff needed for updates
or i was too hasty cuz it "didnt work for me under 5 min" so I installed Suse instead.
Gotta get my hands on Ubuntu someday, looks like a experience to have, hehe...
Got some problems to connfigure my monitor in Suse, extremely old piece of shit, and I got like 60Hz for refresh and its killing me.
I can get it up to 70Hz on XP tho, so there has to be a way to get it on Suse too.
Keyboard layout is US which sucks for me cuz i cant get them scandinavial shitz happening...
Other than that the install went really easy, t'was easier than XP Pro by default.
Mandriva was just a tad easier for installing with my hardware tho.
Slack v. 9.1 was much more 'difficult' to install but that was about a year ago.
Linux has cometh a long way.
Sweet.
:D
Re: Free UBUNTU Linux CDs
It's easy as pie changing the keyboard layout in SuSe.
Just have a look through yast or something, it's one of them things I must have just gone through doing without thinking about it, 'cos I can't remember exactly how I did it.
Not on suse now, but if you need help with it I can reboot :unsure:
Re: Free UBUNTU Linux CDs
right click the desktop / configure desktop / display (tab)
you can either alter the display settings there or you can sax2 which plain sucks.
Re: Free UBUNTU Linux CDs
I found the stuff, got me 70Hz refresh wich is the top for this monitor.
Sucky as hell but its all i got now.
Suse does look cool but im about to check the Ubuntu also.
:D
Re: Free UBUNTU Linux CDs
Ya I dloaded Kubuntu (mate recommended KDE over Gnome, also I had issues with Gnome on FC3) Install/Live DVD, Im so tempted to setup a 76 gb partition on my 2nd drive for it...
Re: Free UBUNTU Linux CDs
You dont have to register anywhere using Mandriva to get the updates. Just use the easy urpmi
Re: Free UBUNTU Linux CDs
I got ten Ubuntu kits in the mail today, Hippychick.
One live-cd you can boot from and try the OS without installing, and one installation cd in each kit.
So that works, in case you wondered.
