Jabba The Hunt Posted August 19, 2002 Author Share Posted August 19, 2002 I tried to get Mandrake, its a Red Hat off-shot anyway so dont think it makes that much difference. Do you prefere Gnome or KDE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tierce Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 The only downfall that macs have is that they have zero support from video game developers, hence no good and modern video games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba The Hunt Posted August 20, 2002 Author Share Posted August 20, 2002 Linux isnt designed for windows USERS, its designed for people who know what they are doing, so they can get things set up how they want, Linux doesnt go ahead and set things up how it thinks you want them, it waits for you to set it up.
