Question of compatability... - Undeadcannibal - 05-25-2004

I have more links if you wanna have.
You can run ANY game that works in W98 under a thing called Win4Lin.
Linux IS Free.....
If you wanna have the packages containig a base manual and some cd's with extra material you can buy them .....
If you are new to linux i recomend : RedHat, Suze and Caldera.
If you are used to Linux : Slackware

leeman, what's your views on Mandrake? I notice it's not on your list for newbies. I think it has a great installer and there is something that asks you if you want to install dependencies which I know is not in RH. I'm pretty much a newbie as well (althought I know some of the commands and how to install and what not) and that feature is sweet!

But ofcause Mandrake should have been on n00b list...
