Tomm Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 In the past I've installed Knoppix, SuSe, Fedora and Ubuntu. None of them worked properly. With Ubuntu I had no network. With SuSe there was no sound. Fedora couldn't access my files even though it should have been able to just fine (And the other distros did) and Knoppix isn't really a proper distro. If I could just get a distro that did everything and worked, I would probably use it, because I don't really use any Windows-only programs. Maybe I've just been unlucky.

AVG and a simple hardware firwall is all you need, I can't remember the last time I got a virus and I download some dodgy shit from time to time. I'm just waiting for a stable way of running OSX at full speed on an x86 platform of my choice! Then I'll be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
