I agree. I never tell anyone that <insert distro here> is better/worse than <insert distro here>
Actually I just lost the battle, trying to convince a guy to install opensuse on his laptop. He ended up installing ubuntu. I know I shouldn't care, but it really sucks!
The important thing is he's running Linux. Ubuntu does tend to be easier for beginners, but perhaps you can do him a favour, by installing KDE. That's what I did, on my one Ubuntu system here (the other 4 are all SUSE).
With my very little experience with that, I cannot understand how can one say that gnome is better for the guys who are going to use linux for the first time?
Side question: Is it safe to leave laptop let's say overnight turned on, or even for more time? I leave my desktop on all the time, but not sure how it works for laptops. (it's thinkpad t61 I got it about a month ago...)
Cheers,
While I leave my desktop on 24/7, I usually turn my ThinkPad of after a while. When I worked at IBM, we'd turn our ThinkPads on in the morning and then turn them off at night, so that we could lock them away or take them with us. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
