too mushy?? did you try changing the user interface?? try framebuffer mode, with screen. > some reading I am thinking about going for gentoo. from what i've read gentoo is definately the best distro out there, once you get it to work. > I also want to know if the gentoo distro in september > DIQ cd is good enough for a working installation > complete with, importantly, Xserver and c/c++ > libraries including openGL libraries. again from what i have read, gentoo requires that you download most of the apps that you want and compile them. this makes your os mean. lean and fast. but does require a fat bandwidth to the net, some amout of expertise and a little patiance in the beginning. but in the end you get a system that is custom built for your machine and as a user you will be much more aware of what makes your system tick. at least one of the list members that i know of, i think Shankar runs gentoo. he should be able to advise you. if you don't have a good net coonection, try debian, or mandrake. choose a window manager like enlightenmet/windowmaker/fvwm/mwm... etc. mario -- Mario Michael da Costa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----------------------------------------------- The opinions expressed in this mail are mine and may not reflect those of my employer. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
