Ce are in plus/minus fata de Ubuntu?

Banuiesc ca pot sa il am in accelasi timp cu ubuntu ,nu ?

[seboo00111]

@Eplison;

Are un package manager pre-instalat diferit dar asemanator Ubunt-ului ;

Dupa cum ai vazut un screenshot-ul din thread, nu ai side-bar-ul care mie imi manca destul RAM pe laptop ( ) ;

Dupa parerea mea, e mult mai customizabil in setari; ( Ex: Domain blocker GUI si altele )

Vine pre-instalat cu suita LibreOffice pe partea Office; Pe partea media vine cu Banshee, Brasero si VLC( Cam tot ce iti trebuie ); De asemenea vine si cu GIMP;

Si da, poti sa faci dual-boot cu Ubuntu ( Desi e cam inutil , zic ), doar sa fii atent la install wizard.

KDE ? am avut acum 2 ani ubuntu cu kde (kubuntu parca) si era horror !! kde - lots of bugs

Orice distro e mai bun decât Ubuntu. Ask any other linux geek if you don't believe me

Daca targetezi orice altceva decat supportul . Ubuntu e top la support.

Daca targetezi orice altceva decat supportul . Ubuntu e top la support.

1. Red Hat e cel mai de top la support.

2. Mai bine ai un Linux mai bun ?i mai stabil decât s? ajungi s? apelezi la support. Fiecare cum vede treaba.

[tromfil]

P?i atunci pentru desktop care recomanda?i dac? Ubuntu nu e ok?

Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS?

A? zice CentOS. P?reri?

[M2G]

^ fedora - subiectiv

[wildchild]

Personal prefer pe post de desktop CentOS, Backtrack 3/4, Slax, Solaris. M? ur?sc s? spun asta, dar mi s-a demonstrat faptul c? cel mai bun linux pentru desktop se trage mereu din Gentoo, mai specific Sabayon.

Vreau în vara aceasta s? fac ni?te experimente cu un FreeBSD cu desktop, cic? s-ar mi?ca foarte bine.
