"Ubuntu is a great linux"
You are stupid, Ubuntu is the worst linux out there, unless you a linux newb, and im guessing you are, but if you want to be able to tweak the kernal and have complete control over your linux and run a server fodera core 4 is the best open soure out there right now.
So go download some wallpapers with your "ubuntu" and ill be right here on my fodera hosting my website and ftp + having control over my other server

@U7Hacker - there's enough of this crap in google groups. ie some Linux ppl who can't be civil if someone dares disagree with their opinion or have an opinion that doesn't fit with theirs. Around here however it won't be tolerated, hence these are 'moderated' forums.
Any more stupid comments and you'll be back on your own site as you won't be on this one. comprendez ?

I had no problems with ubuntu....it's not a bad distro. I wouldn't say that it gives you alot of options,but if you want to run a simple desktop,(which alot of people do) it's a pretty good *nix for the job.
As far as the server talk...I really wouldn't see anyone running one on a ubuntu machine,it's more of a front end OS.
I really did like the fedora core 3 and 4 distros,they had alot to give with the 'out of the box' unstall. It was one of the easiest installs I've had to do. Alot of people talk about it being 'bloated' with too much,but if you don't want certain packages,don't install them from the start. Simple right?
Only problem I had with fedora is that it didn't like my Ati card.

I have a HP ZV6000. I want to start my learnig journey on linux. I already set=up a dual-boot on it. I load FC-4 before, now trying SUSE 10.
My question, because I don't know where to look, is there any distro that will load the WIFI for this laptop. I been want to start working on *nix with it, but not having wireless support it makes thing hard on me.
ANy help will be gladly accepted.
Thank you

Mandriva 2006 supports wifi as far as i know (as my laptop has wifi built-in and it's detected on install) however i've not actually used the wifi as i only have a normal wired router at the moment

he is just asking that you portray your opinion in a less IN YOUR FACE kind of way...
i am sure creaky is not trying to deprive you of your opinions so lets just take it down a notch.

@U7Hacker - it's real simple, this Forum has a few rules. Now drop it down a notch and quit the attitude if you don't mind.
Opinions are fine but attitude isn't. Period.

I am sold...
I have spent this week attempting to get ubuntu on my system (zv6000) with no luck at all. After what has been said I am downloading Mandriva right now and seeing if I can get a working install.

Hmmm, Mandriva install very easy on the ZV6000, however my wireless is not working. Does anyone get this working on Mandriva 64 bit edition? Correct me if I'm not mistaken but do i need the drivers for the broadcom card thats integrated, i will need the 64bit version. I tried ndiswrapper with 32 bit version but no good.
Thank you for any help.

As of last night I installed the 32 bit version on my zv6000. I have yet to try the wireless, but, I am on my way to do so. I skipped the 64bit version in an attempt to avoid any more work then nessary.
I will let you know if this versoin works out of the box...
