Joe, go to www.distrowatch.com for more enlightenment. I'm less enthusiastic about Ubuntu than Richard, preferring the Debian that it is based on. Some distributions:
When you know what you want: Debian. For beginners - PCLinux For minimalists or those wanting to learn Linux in detail: Slackware For slower machines: Zenwalk or Vector (slackware based) For very slow machines: Fluxbuntu, Puppy or DSL If you want it to look like a mac: Dreamlinux (Brazillian) or Bagheera for KDE on any distro If you like doing things the hard way: Gentoo. If you want to get the results of the hard way but with a short cut: Sabayon. For something completely different: elive Any of them will run Rev just fine. Or as fine as Rev runs on Linux, which is a different story.... Best books: How Linux Works, by Ward Anything Carla Schroder writes, esp the Cookbook Pocket linux guide from O'Reilly Linux Phrasebook Sobell, Practical Guide (detailed) Peter _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
