Run longer without a need for patching... :)


You're right about durability (but don't forget that Windows is far more attacked by hackers and viruses), but I meant, for example, that Windows is much more supported for games, apps and multimedia, because it was the standard OS until Linux... perhaps in the future this situation will be reversed and Linux will become the main OS over Windows... who knows?

I'm dling it as we speak. Do they have restored the address bar in Konqueror ? In the test2 release they had removed it.

Personally, SuSE is my choice but then again a desktop is not my main use... Don't get me wrong, SuSE can play w/ the best of them when it comes to their desktop, but others (like Mandrake) might offer a better "wrapper".

For the newbies out there , in case you didn't know, instead of buying a shrinkwrapped version of a distro (some are pretty expensive) you can get it at http://www.distrowatch.com/ for *very* cheap. Now keep in mind these don't come with hardcopy user manuals like original distros sometimes do, but it's a good way to try them out.
