Has any one used Sabayon Linux???
I am 2 very sceptical about the whole Novel & M$ tieup. I use SUSE 10.1 on my laptop as it is easiest and quite robust. Mandriva is a good choice but the free version seems half-baked and incompleteafter usingSUSE. Powerpack is very good but whyshould one pay when SUSE is there??? Can anyone suggest which other distro i can switch 2??
Hi there,
Why dont you give fedora a try... It comes as a Totally Free Offering, but with just a little bit of work, can be made to support well neigh any hardware out there. The best part is, that it can with just one or at most 2 add on repositories be brought up to spec with almost anything anyone could possible need, and still have a lean and mean system. In fact, wherever i install fedora, the only addon repo i install is the livna repo, basically for bringing down all the multimedia, nvidia, ati and wifi networking stuff. If you have a good internet connection, it shouldnt take you more than 15-20 mins to start playing round with your region-locked DVD's and connecting to your wifi networks, all in a smashing 3d desktop :)
Plus, the Integrated AIGLX based 3D Desktop is wayyyyy too cool. U'll start making even MacOS guys jealous :)
