Re: Laptop and Distro Recommendations?
Yes, that is presuming you are connected to the Internet by default. I
basically had to get most of the connection up via command line. Fortunately
I've been using Linux for a number of years.
Needless to say, my friend was not impressed with how hard it appears to get up
and running.
5 disks with all imaginable packages (Libranet, SuSE and others) beats having to
install over the Internet (because a single CD install like Ubuntu simply
limits what you have).
Even for myself I'm not enthused by Ubuntu.
