Welcome,
Interoperability, getting things that are mainstream on other platforms to work on Linux platforms
Like media, devices, software applications, networking tools.
Please post anything that currently does not work or that you want to work better on a Linux platform.
Please post anything you think that already does that deserves a mention or more attention.
I will do the same.
Thanks,
pereznet

testing on linux-internet only distro
Sorry, about not posting sooner.
unlike most bloggers, I actually have a life and a job.
Ha ha ha , just kidding.
I have been testing PClinuxOS, Damn Samll Linux
-----------------------------------------------
PCLinuxOS is a great distro. The install was a snap.I was able to use everything write out of the install.I mean everything; networking, internet, MS apps-Wine, viewing Quicktime, WMP movies, really cool stff.
Hardware installation was also very easy. The only thing I had a problem with was a Netgear Wireless PCI 802.11g card that I would needed drivers for.
Also a problem was installing on a DELL Inspirion 4000 PIII. The Live CD freezes half-way through the boot process.
Again I am looking for out of the box- functionality. Probably could change the boot kernel to syslinux, and it would work.
As far internet centric apps that are cross-platfrom compatible, PCLinuxOS looks good so far. Netbeans runs and delpoys Glassfish v.2 and v.3. Nice!
I could totally depoly PCLinuxOS in a business network settitng. As long as the laptops and PC's are all P4 and newer.
-----------------------------------------------
DSL is a new distro for me, I started testing last week.
It did install on the Dell Inspirion 4000. Everything works well. Needs more drivers for Wifi cards. My CISCO AIRONET card works great, the TrendNet G card did not install.
However, I am impressed with the look and feel of DSL. Very quick, modern and seemless for a mininalist linux disrto.
I have not fully explored DSL yet but I am pretty stoked about DSL so far.
I am, however, a little worried about the future of DSL. I would like to see a blog update on this from them.
