[tslug] Good Distros...

2004-09-01 Thread Justin West 
Its time for me to switch to a different flavor of linux. Im wanting 
to use a stable 2.6 kernel that also comes with the newest versions of 
GIMP and OpenOffice.

Im not opposed to Gentoo, if there is an install that comes with GIMP 
and OpenOffice. If not, what other distros are there that would 
satisfy my cravings?

Thanks for the advice,

Justin West

	Gentoo is an excellent choice... Since you are on campus, you can get 
all of the gentoo packages/updates/etc. from Don's convenient local 
mirror.  OpenOffice and GIMP are only a simple emerge away once you're 
all set up.  OpenOffice has the choice between compiling totally from 
source or from a pre-compiled binary (saves mega-time for quick install).

	SuSe might also satisfy those needs...for sure in terms of having GIMP 
and OpenOffice, but TLTIC SuSe still used the 2.4 kernel, and the 2.6 
was only available as a separately-installable add-on.

	Then there's Fedora, which theoretically _could_ give you most of the 
up-to-date-ness of Gentoo with the easy wizard-like install.  You'd have 
to ask some of the others more about it though...who cares to chime in?

Justin,

I've been happy with Mandrake 10.0 and Fedora Core 2.  Both become
even better when you add apt for rpm repositories like the penguin
liberation front that package some programs that the distributions
can't really touch due to legalities.  

For servers and other important boxes, I'm still a Debian supporter
although now that my company pays for it I also use Red Hat Enterprise
Server.

[tslug] Gmail

2004-09-01 Thread Jim Drewes 
Hey,

I don't post on here much, as I've graduated and thus cannot be a part
of tslug, but...

I've got 6 gmail invites... anyone interested?

I just added my gmail address to my /etc/aliases file on my web/mail
server so I can use my gmail as a automatic, permanent, searchable
backup for all of my email.  Its great for when I'm away from home and
need to get at an email that I downloaded into evolution on my home
computer.

Just let me know an email address to send the invite to if you want one.

Later,
-Jim Drewes
