I haver also tried RedHat 7.2 and it is more a system for office than home. Install the net, mail and so one is possible, but not as easy as Mandrake. Tv card could be installed , but using scripts and command line, as in Mandrake 7.2.
About compiling with mandrake, the key is install the appropriate libs; I have compiled lots of packages; sometimes the particularities of the directory systems, that still differs from one to other distribution; is becose those problems that an standarization of the files and directories structure should be very insteresting for the success of linux. To to that I made a recommended installation but during it I choose selection of packages, installing the gcc compiler and the most used libs. For specifical packages compilation I had to look into the configure file or ask for help at the author of the package. I hope this could help Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain) ----- Mensaje Original ----- Remitente: Expert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fecha: Domingo, Enero 13, 2002 9:03 pm Asunto: Re: [expert] redhat vs mandrake > > bascule > > > > > The only use I get from RedHat is that > > > the compiler seems to work when I want to > > > install and run wxGTKwindows libraries, > > > and audacity audio editing software, > > > everything else in RedHat is broken, > > > but on my RedHat it is KDE's Dcopserver > > > that I cannot seem to fix, I can't even log > > > into kde session, I have to use gnome, can't > > > even run any kde apps!
