I tried suse 10.3 1 cd, I need spanish language so I let the online repositories start dowloading more than 800 mb, I thin it´s much. the instalation was slow realy slow, whe start it´s much faster than before, I like kickof and the suse artwork, compiz didn´t work, I need acces to a windows network, but did not work, I google and find the answer and add a cuple o lines on network, I don`t why even I have to do that, ok, I have .avi files so when I go to install, it doesn´t the install failed… so I have it… put my gutsy beta an istalled, half an hour take, and network, compiz codecs all where fine fast and now I´m back, I think I could stay longer on suse but this is silly, Ubuntu just work like I wants or espect so MAndriva it´s out, I have a couple a days until Gutsy it´s out… But always return to Ubuntu and Gutsy It´s looking good really good

Thanks. I use virtualization with VMWare. I have itch to try different distros anyways and today only I have downloaded Debian 4 VMWare installation. I will surely give it a try. Anyways thanks for your suggestion.

Ubuntu is by far the most developed… I have since switched back several times!

@Dimce:

“and I can tell if you want something win like then you have the Ubuntu distro.”

that’s a new one .. Gnome doesn’t look like Win ,not even close

@speedygeo, @sanjay : last time i used Mepis it was Mepis 3 pr sth like that i don’t remember , but i liked it and intend to try it once 7 stable comes out ,but on virtual machine.

@papa_rod : exactly

@ Maarten: VM saves a lot of time an effort but it’s useful only if like to try a lot of Linux flavors , useless in production IMHO.
@ sketching : give Ubuntu a shot on VM ,it’s very easy to install Virtualbox or VMware on openSUSE 10.3

I want to like Ubuntu, but it failed to update and messed up my dual boot setup with XP on an ibm x31 thinkpad.

Have played around with MEPIS, while it doesn’t have the fandom of Ubuntu, it seems more stable.

I usally install SuSE. I haven’t tried Ubuntu yet. I will have to get it a go someday.

I agree with Xero that tools loke VMware, Qemu and Virtualbox (check my blog) are really wondefull. You can check out any linux distribution you like with the minimimum of effort, without partitioning. And if you don’t like it, just throw away the file!
I installed SuSe today and it was simple to install, I’m curious!
Cheers,

LOL! I suspect it’s mainly a matter of personal preference. I have become an Ubuntu addict who used to be a Suse addict, and before that I would never have thought of leaving Fedora Core behind. I started off years ago with Slackware on floppies and I thought that was the best then! (Well it was compared to Mr. Bill’s product anyways!

I always revert back to MEPIS.
It was the second linux distro I installed on my laptop. but I liked Kubuntu. But after 6 months of Kubuntu I want mepis again.
Now It is based on Debian stable with an great mepis repository updated to the latest stable versions!! Do you like Debian with KDE with the very usefull MEPIS packages??
