Hi,
Myself Raza.Z.Sayed , from Mumbai. I have recently joined iglug-bom . Well, im kinda new to linux , but ive been using linux for quite some time now as a casual user . Im a student and I find linux more attractive as compared to proprietary OS, not only because it has matured enough to give proprietary software some decent competition but what appeals to me most as a student is that linux being free and open source offers a lot of room for learning and experimentation , which is seriously lacking in a proprietary os like windows. So,ive decided to switch over completely to free and open source software now and plan to use Linux as the primary OS I use on my machine. My machine has 512 MB of RAM and 1.46 GHz processor. So,i need your suggestion as to which distro would be the best desktop os for me,in terms of atleast the following factors.
1. Support for wireless connectivity, as i need to be able to use WiFi.
2. Support for Bluetooth .
3. Support for ADSL connections , i use MTNL Triband on my machine
4. Good choice of software and wide support for the same available.
One of my friends would be giving me a copy of Debian Etch . Would that be good enough ?.
Thanks :)
