mapolley07 0 Posted July 30, 2005 Hi, I am a linux newbie. I want to try to learn linux, and i downloaded the 3CD Mandrake install from this site, and I heard Suse is easier to learn. Someone please help me choose my first linux. Mandrake sounds really nice to me though Share this post Link to post
iamroot 0 Posted July 30, 2005 You can start with Mandrake. Or rather Mandriva. Suse is not bad for beginners, but its not free. Share this post Link to post
zenarcher 0 Posted July 30, 2005 Mandriva is quite easy to install and set up. Mandrake (Mandriva) was the first distribution I managed to get working successfully, when I began trying to use Linux. SUSE is a very nice distro and I tried it first, however I encountered some issues I could not resolve with it. That was when I tried Mandrake. I'm getting ready to try SUSE again, due to a supposed easier method of setting up SATA RAID, however the last SUSE version I tried was a couple of years ago. I think you probably would be successful and happy with either distribution. zenarcher Share this post Link to post
