When I started with linux 3 to 4 yrs back, Red Hat was quite popular and I got the cd's easily from my friend. I spent some time with Red Hat and later I heard a lot about Ubuntu. I gave it a try but it didn't work with my widescreen display. Although I resolved the issue, but being from Red Hat background I found Ubuntu a bit unfamiliar.
At my workplace I have to use either Red Hat or CentOS, so fedora turned out to be natural choice for me. Here in India Red Hat/Fedora is quite common, so if I face any issue, there are people around who can help easily which is not the case with other distros. So if my system faces some problem and internet connection is not working, I'll have to rely on my friends to get the problem solved. So to conclude my choice was Fedora and the reason being the distros used at my workplace and also it was more popular in my friend circle. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2008 3:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [LINUX_Newbies] Which Distribution?
