Hey, I am looking for another distro of linux. So far, I have used Debian(Ubuntu), FC5, Slax, Knoppix, DSL, Puppy, and I am currently trying out suse.
Do you guys know of any other distros that are worth trying out? preferably one with good repos.
 
Yeah ok. Im just curious, how is edgy? I am currently using dapper (yes, outdated, i know). Is it worth reinstalling linux for?
 
Writing to an NTFS filesystem in Linux is like using Windows ME - you /can/ but when it bombs and you lose everything, nobody will feel sorry for you.

lol
 
Edgy is ok I liked dapper better. In fact I believe edgy is only a short term release and dapper is still supported.
 
Yes Dapper is LTS, Edgy is a little more bleeding edge as will Feisty be.

Basically you get newer apps, new art, new themes, quicker startup and shutdown, rounded window corners by default and few other bits including Xorg 7.1 with built in AIGXL.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseNotes

Some people who had problems in Dapper found them fixed in Edgy, but some found new problems in Edgy that they didn't have in Dapper.

However with Feisty due out in April if you're happy with your Dapper right now you might want to wait?

I normally install the latest version a month before it's due out :)

O cool. It kinda sucks having a ATI card though. Getting XGL/Compiz was a bitch, but beryl works like a charm. I think I will install edgy tonight seeing as how I screwed up the xserver in dapper. I will tell you how I like it. Peace.
