Just put Fedora Core 2 on an old 500mghz PC for a mate -- very nice, only grumbles due to an excess of desktop annimation effects very slight slower than Core 1 in spite of the 2.6x kernel.

Install was long but without a hitch Windows networking worked from the start only needed the workgroup name changed and printer share set up.

Could you tell me what the 'eck you're talking about?

Is it an OS?

What desktops and browsers does it come bundled with as standard?

I take it you installed from CD ISO's?

Cheers,

Neil.

Is that Red Hats free version?

That's nothing, I've just put some new batteries in my calculator.

It's running fine.

Hmm

fedora is all very nice, but i have a few niggles with it (especially core 2 needing different graphics card drivers) and i just find it a little less user friendly than windows for what i need.

oh, and i really need proper asp/ .net support so that leaves me stuck with 2k3 server


all depends on the user, how much and how the machine will be used.

i've just installed debian. i can log in etc at command prompt, but haven't yet figured out how to run any of the gui's!

oh hum, better look up their website!!

If you're at a text only prompt try 'startx' or edit the /etc/inittab file

id:3:initdefault:

to

id:5:initdefault:
