Heh heh... not trying to start an argument here, but I just spent over 4 hours today trying to clean up the malware, spyware and other nasties from one of my co-worker's computer.... poor guy couldn't get a lick of work done from all the pop-ups and such. Personally, I'd trade security for complexity any day.Polo wrote:It was not against you, don't worry, it was against the complexity of Linuxsec wrote:Trying to help ... I am not using Fedora though wink: ( i know other distro better).
And of the fact that I think Linux is bloated without being bloated (my Mandrake take 2GB on the hard drive, but I still have to use sdl, gtk, ... to use Purebasic), hard to use and useless
Give SimplyMepis a try: http://www.mepis.org/node/1462Which distro would you reccommend?
What I need is a Linux that is easy to install PB on, and so I can use the new IDE. Other than that I want Firefox 1.0.4 and Evolution. And preferably Gnome Wink Any good suggestions?
It's free, easy and comes with just about everything a person could want. Then again, being a Debian based distro, adding and updating software is a piece of cake too. Finally, it has the best hareware recognition that I've *ever* seen on a Linux distro. It just works!
Edit: Doesn't come with the Gnome desktop though... I don't know for sure if you can add it.
