I think quite a few distros are producing "Live" versions too... I've used Knoppix a couple of times in the past, and have a couple of semi-recent Ubuntu Live CDs laying around here somewhere, but don't need to use it much any more since sticking Fedora on the laptop.


ditto.

Im using now Linux Xandros............
Although the debian package (XN / apt) stuff works great for me....some of the updates/softwares/modules is a bit hard to find....plus the boot is a bit slow....but overall i like it....
Im planning to use FreeBSD or may Ubunto soon.......just to play around....

Just a thought........how can I use RPM package in Debian distos? Is that possible?

just a little word of warning - xandros is IMHO the most n00b friendly linux distro out there. lol so i dont think moving from xandros to FreeBSD would be as simple as it sounds.
why would you want to use an RPM on a debian based system? OBVIOUSLY you've never been to rpm hell :] lol trust me, its not somewhere you'd want to go...(hence the name)

Yeah i did heard about that one.....I just got this one from a friend and tried it used it for coding coz the ease and simplicity is similar to windows and use it for most of my programming now........I do have a redhat,mandrake and suse (coz these are the only available distros that i manage to get here ) now which sometimes i used when coding crossflatform scripts/programs not so often...

FreeBSD?Is it that hard? How hard can it be...? I want to know more about UNIX/Linux in little time as possible coz my job requires me so and plus.... I've been dying to learn this anyway which I think now is the right time....no matter what...i think i have to make it through......Im not a pro at this stuff yet like u guyz....im just beginning to scratch the surface.....

RPM->debian?/?
I just read from debian forums that they are actually planning to make this possible...In this way...I can only get one package that could run both distributions....From this two....Which distro is far more better anyway(by there availability and accessibility)? RPM or DEBIAN?

Can anyone give me some links on where I can learn more about UNIX/Linux?
Thankx for the info's
