If the subject line confuses, or indicates, best of distros, the body of the email isn't.
What I am interested to know, is which distro among Fedora Core would be best for the hardware configuration I have
I plan to buy a new HDD and interested to know, which Redhat / Fedora Distro would be best
Microprocessor: Pentium IV 1.7 GHz RAM: 256 MB DDR Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse SAMTRON 15" Monitor SONY CD-RW CRX23EE 52x / 32x / 52x Realtek Ethernet Card
(here comes the odd part) ASUS Motherboard P4S333VM SiS 7012 Soundcard SiS 650 onboard Graphics card
Though the sound card was detected in Redhat 9.0 (the one I am using currently), none of the sound modules (arts, ALSA) worked properly.
I am not interested in Debain Distros because, I have absolutely no idea of a lot of things. Once, I have some introduction (through different sources on the internet), I'll dual boot...
But, can I dual boot among different distro's Something like Debian, Ubuntu, OpenSuSE 10.2?
Also, if anyone has used GAIM on MTNL TRIBAND, please let me know.
I also plan to buy a new keyboard. Any suggestions for a new keyboard ? (Simple ...no MM)
I would suggest you should definitely go for Fedora 5 . Its just the best of all the Fedoras (atleast I have experienced so). Hardware detection is just great unless you have any exotic hardware...and you dont seem to have any. I never had a sound problem with Fedora. And in RH9 the sound problem is very common , many of my friends' and even my college comp went without sound in RH9...and SUSE10.0 too.
Networking with ADSL/PPPOE is a breeze in fedora . Triband will work just fine...and gaim too. Also my MM Keyboard works fine in Fedora with the iTouch plugin for XMMS. I couls not get MM keys to work in Ubuntu Dapper at all. --
