H3knix


Im not new to linux but usually I just mess around on it for internet and multimedia stuff. I came across a linux distro called H3knix it looks ver interesting but I havent heard of it because its not a widely used distro but I was wondering if someone could give me ideas like would I be ok trying this distro or is it a waste of time because Im still a newbie or would trying it make me more knowledgeable of linux. Any replys are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

Welcome to LQ Reading through the site, it would appear to be a fairly straightforward distro. I'd suggest that you download the live cd first and have a play with it to see if you like it.

Otherwise, try Mandriva, Novell, Fedora, Ubuntu, Xandros - all focused on the new user.

H3knix is a very nice system I would thoroughly recommend except for one thing: much of the documentation is currently missing from the website (or at least was missing last time I visited). This might make things more difficult for you. There isn't much activity on the forum either, so I don't know how much help you'd get. But I hope things will pick up once h3knix releases a new version that is supposed to be in testing... defintely, keep an eye on this one!
