View Poll Results: Desktop Distribution of the Year
I'm glad that SLackware has won! I have been a member of LQ since 2006, and what I can remember Ubuntu has won ever single year since I have been following these members choice awards.
I think that Unity has turned a lot of people away from Ubuntu and towards other distros like Mint.
Distribution: RedHat 7.1,(planning to go for suse9.2professional/Mandrake 10.1official powerpack+

Hi! All.Many things are fine with Linux distros. There is however one shortcoming that is common to all distros including suse enterprise desktop. That glaring short coming is the lack of proper information about the hardware component compatibility. I am trying for past several months to get a authentic information without any success. I have used Red Hat 7.1 initially, but had to switch to Suse professional (9,1, 9.3) and then to open suse (10.1, 10.2, 10.3,11.3). I could go for suse enterprise desktop to avoid this hardware compatibility issue. I am sorry to say that my search as yet is not fruitful.
Well! I don't want to offend anyone.
Regards to all.

RSS, have you checked the Hardware forum? You might find some help there. I think you can run Linux on many sorts of hardware, but if you Google your hardware you might find some known issues and possibly some fixes. If that fails, post to the hardware forum.
