Lets be alive ............. be enlightened <flame>
To USE any RH, you need Atul's final-touch, and then PCQ has to distribute, otherwise ... RH "no use" SUSE, a closed distro toward end ;-) .... and 6.3 is just too blotted ... fatty distribution .. Debian (woody) rules, a distribution for real man ;-) :)) MDK, the most beautiful "Miss. Linux" .... among all distributions; .. :-D .... ballroom to bedroom .. enjoy the look&feel ... The stylist companion of your computing, </flame> Oho, for your information, vga -> Trident Cyberblade XP is only supported in XFree86 4.2 version, and ONE & ONLY Mandrake 8.2 is coming with 4.2 by default. and 2.4.17 with 3rd party patches, supporting large list of hardwares, that also comes with only MKD 8.2, by the way: flame give the required light in dark, but the quantity of heat produced by the process can burn and may cause injury .... ;-) iti Saugata. ___________________________________________________ Validate my identity, get my GnuPG key from: Saugata Chakrabarti [http://education.vsnl.com/saugata/saugataPGP4U.keyring.asc] ___________________________________________________ ------------------------- Last Message in-thread From: Arup Kanjilal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ilug-cal] suggesions wanted on choice of distro Date: 22 Feb 2002 10:19:19 -0800 S.U.S.E. is my current favourite. Has enough from classic UNIX filesytem layouts to keep me happy. And ofcourse, its rock solid. Doesn't do weird things like RH does. Be warned, 48 megs of RAM is not a nice thing for X. Shouldn't really try running any of the desktops (GNOME/KDE). A Windowmaker based X setup would be way to go for this.
