linux and i3 processor

chymeira · 07-19-2010, 06:01 PM

Hello all,
I just ordered a new desktop computer online, with an i3 processor and a nVidia GeForece graphic card. Its going to take a few days to ship so I thought I would research and find the best distro to install on that hardware.
Ive been using fedora for years on my laptop and Ive never had a problem but now with the i3 I dont know which distro would be best to install.
I would appreciate it a lot if you guys could help me ,

Thank you very much.

Stick with what you know. By the way that system would be fine to run virtual machines so you may not ever want to dual boot. Even though the i3 is the bottom end of the core line it is still a pretty good base for a home user.

I'd say put fedora on it and if you want to play either live cd's/usb's or VM's.

I see no good reason you couldn't use Fedora on that machine.

Use what works for You If you like Fedora and know it why change, But you might want to try, Linux Mint, Mandriva,PCLinuxOS-Mint has the codacs to play MP3,Flash out of the Box You might also try Debian Testing (not on your main Computer), Fun if you want to learn Linux. Good Luck
