I don’t think you shouldn’t try to use both Livna & FreshRpms at the same time. It makes no bones abouts its aim to be at the cutting edge of distros.īack to fedora and your problems with codecs. If you want to ‘rock & Roll’ then go with Fedora. If you want slow and considered updates then by all means go with Debian or an Enterprise Distro ( CentOS, Ununtu LTS etc) I swear, another reboot and I would thrown laptop out of the window!)Ĭomparing Fedora & Debian Distros is much like the Tortoise and the Hare or Classical & Rock Music (I don’t have enough experience with Vista and 2K8 to comment on them) Never the less, out of the box, a modern Linux distribution does support far more hardware than XP and Windows 2K3. I should have added that I’m buying Linux compatible hardware only. The search for the perfect operating system is an on going quest (with most settling for the one that ‘sucks the least’) – but not to dampen ones spirits, but I don’t think there will ever be a perfect operating system because we live in an imperfect world with too many variables that can disrupt and ‘harmony’ that might temporarily exist. For every good side there is to an operating system, there is going to be a laundry list of flaws with it.

Then there is the drivers from printer companies my last printer alone said, “required 300mb free space” – for a printer driver?Īll this makes for a very unpleasant experience – if your hardware isn’t supported on Linux, it’ll be supported on Windows but with a penalty of bloated drivers that are unreliable.

To add insult to injury, the driver itself has an obnoxious application which hijacks wireless configuration and is impossible to disable at start up. Take the WPN311 wireless card I have from Netgear, the driver is around 15MB, and even then, its been out for over a year and no 108mbps is available for this card. About the only thing, in terms of hardware support I am disappointed in is the multi-megabyte driver downloads. (Yep, this should be fun to watch…)įor me, installing and downloading these extra’s have never really been a great chore they’re a fact of life, and I’ve never considered the need to rage against the system.

Granted, XP is older than Fedora and CentOS, but never the less, given the fact that I’m tired of hearing the “Linux is hard to install” argument and the Joe-six-pack example thrown against Linux, I challenge them (?) to let their Joe-six-pack neighbour install XP on his brand new machine, -without- using the manufacturer supplied CD. Put CD, boot, select applications, goto sleep. On the other hand, XP/SP2 failed to detect the : Ethernet, WIFI, Video, Audio, Smartcard reader, Modem and PC-card slot…īy comparison, getting CentOS 5.2/x86_64 on this machine was more or less point and click. Though in Microsoft’s defence, I never use the manufacturer supplied CD as I rather use -new- drivers and reduce the bloat. Given the fact that I just spent 5 hours trying to get XP on a 1 year old Dell Laptop and around 5 hours more to get some basic functionality on top of it (AVG/ZoneAlarm/7-Zip/Acrobat Reader/VIM/Visual studio/OpenOffice/Firefox/Wireshark/ObjectDesktop/etc) the “is Windows ready for the desktop” question isn’t even funny. If we were going to hold up every operating system to the lofty goals of ‘ready for the desktop’ – I don’t think there would be a single one that could even come close to it. Thanks in advance for the help.It reminds me of a Linux advocate who asked the same thing of Windows – is Windows ready for the desktop it was a tongue ‘n cheek at the time, but it did raise a serious question what is ‘ready for the desktop’.įor me, ‘ready for the desktop’ seems to encroach on the same field as the definition of a ‘real man’ and ‘real Scotsman’. This log would help us in finding the real culprit. Note: This profiler also records system details like hardware and network information such as System Manufacturer, Computer name, Processor Speed, IP address etc.
