Experimenting with various Linux distros on an AMD64 and an Intel 925 P4 box over the last couple of weeks has been a nightmare.


Apart from WinXP (separate post in this topic), the other big new O/S I have tried this year is Debian Sarge (a Linux distro).

Ugly as hell installer, but once you get past that part, the installed product becomes a thing of beauty. I use "synaptic" as a GUI front-end to the package management system, and it is pretty sweet. If I need any new s/w installed, I just point and click, and it automatically works out any dependencies, upgrades, downgrades etc.. that may be needed, and then does them. Without screwing up.

Simply amazing, and HIGHLY recommended instead of FedoraCore. If one can deal with the ugly installer, that is.
