Best Linux Goes no further than redHat linux Thought I could write in a Lot of Stuph about that BUT except a little new Software it is no diffrent from a RedHat Linux Distro First Surprise comes when the this distro is booted off the 1st CD The starting is GRUB based gives you three options 1. GUI install....... 2. Text Based (inc. SCSI supp)....... 3. Recovery (using second floppy disks) Installation Part===> 1. Graphical Install AutoDetected i810 based Graphic Card and ran the installation inGUI mode nice I was happy for that But soon as the custom install is selected and its turn to select the Packages It displays the Packages in diffr. categories as +KDE +GNOME etc... where + can be cahngeg to neg and the packages under that category can be seen easily Here is where the Problem starts A lot of Packages are listed in multiple categories such as netscape is listed atleast in 3 categories and denselecting in doesn't deselect in otehres and now one thinks he has removed the Package but no chance it is there after that Lets Install Ok Install It Hanged no way I tried it three times on machine nothing was able to make that stuff going 2.Text Mode Installation===> Any one who has seen the RedHat 5.2 's instalation(text only at that time) can not tell any difference between the redHat and Best Linux installif he doesn't see the Left Topmost corner of the screen which the different which say Best Linux 2000 isntall instead of RedHat Linux 5.2 install and diff comes at the Package selection time which has a lill more packages than its cousin RedHat(not cousin but real brothers) and after another next and Install the installation was exactly same as that of RedHat But what came to surprise that It was able to start the instation in Graphics mode on i810 chipset now failed to detect the Graphics card or say chipset. Next Gave two options if u have SCSI disk go further and install LILO or if u have ide u can chose from LILO or GRUB after a reboot Start the Linux u installed What came in redHat as ""Welcome to redHat Linux" was changed to ""Welcome to BEST Linux"" and everything in there is same except(may be) the X which I have not yet started but soon I'll do that and post the results some aliases come by default such as ls --color -F -a ======================================== CONCLUSIONS====> Follwing the footsteps of BEST Linux any one with a Basic knowlege how to edit files and little bit scripting capabilities can start his/her own new Distro May be I can Roll out atleast mine with BEST substituted with GodMode everywhere by simply using find and sed pair over the Complete CD and little tweaks here and there ANYONE INTERESTED -- Regards Jaswinder Singh Kohli [EMAIL PROTECTED] :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Two things are infinite, the universe and the human stupidity, but I am not yet sure about the universe.
