What is the best Linux distro for me?

Posted on July 24, 2010 by admin| 8 Comments

Not looking for one that apes Windows. Quite willing to learn to work in a new desktop environment (though you’ve lost me at “command line…”) In fact non-Windowsness is appealing. Basically, what I’d like to know is whether a GNOME or KDE distro would be better suited to my hardware (details below). I like to personalise things, and work with options, etc. I also like a bit of bling! So I was leaning towards KDE. But above all, I prize stability…

My laptop:
Toshiba Satellite A210
AMD Turion 64×2 TL-60, 2 GHz
2GB RAM
Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600, memory amount : 512 MB dedicated VRAM

Currently runs Vista Home Premium. Fed up with the slowness and clunkiness of Vista, as well as little glitches, like Windows Explorer shutting down every so often.

I’m not technical – never going to learn to work with code or anything like that. But I am intuitive, can figure things out, not a complete idiot!

I’ve downloaded Ubuntu to a Live CD, and have been giving that a go. Enjoying it – seems nice and clear. Will do the same with Kubuntu soon.

But my question is, regardless of which I prefer on an aesthetic or organizational level, which one would be more stable on my hardware?

Linux live-USB help. Boot Bios and flash drive.?

Posted on July 23, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

I am taking a intro to Linux course and would like to set up a Linux live-usb so I can get some practice using the command line terminal and do my Linux home work.

I don’t understand what to set my bio’s to, to boot from the usb flash drive.
It has choices like boot from usb SD reader, usb CF reader, usb SM reader, usb MS reader etc…… Will any of those settings work for a flash drive?

Also do I need to transfer everything off my flash drive before I install the Linux to it?
or can I partition with files already on the drive as long as there’s space for the Linux OS?

It’s an 8 gig flash drive.

And after the Linux live-usb is created can I still use it for normal drag and drop storage from my windows pc or will it now be just a Linux live-usb?

My text book came with a Fedora CD but it seems to be a install disk and not a live-cd. If I use the CD to install Fedora on my pc will it mess up my windows or will it just ask me to partition space for the Fedora? I guess I don’t understand if partitioning is something you can do at any time safely or if it’s just done with fresh formatting etc…

I would just order a live-cd but I don’t have time to wait.

Thanks for any help/advice.
