witch is the best of slackware and debian?!

my friends prefer slackware and i'm a total noob at linux...

cya


i wouldnt recommend slackware or debian to a linux noob,

 

if you want to learn linux the easy way then try any of the following:-

 

fedora core release 4 - [/url]http://fedora.redhat.com

Suse Linux OSS 10 - http://www.opensuse.org

Ubuntu - http://www.ubuntulinux.org

 

slack and debian are really better suited to someone who has a year or more experience with linux and wants to get their hands 'dirty' so to speak

 

in the end though, the choice of what you install is entirely up to you

 

heres some linux screenshots that may help you to make up your mind

Welcome to the forums :)

 

If you are completely new, the best distros for newbies are Fedora (RPM based) and Ubuntu (DEB based).

 

Slackware is one of the oldest running standing Linux distros and as such still gives the feel of old skool linux (which is great for some of the longer users ;)) However the newer users can sometimes be a little lost with it.

 

Debian is another distro that whilst great for previous users of linux is does lack in certain areas, interestingly enough I feel that where Debian lacks for new users it is where Ubuntu picks it up.

 

So if you want a debian style distro try ubuntu.


Hej Johan!
