Some people aren't s young as all that you know But to go on to another subject: I'm trying to decide between Arch & LFS At the moment I've just uninstalled Mandriva2007.0 as it didn't stop crashing(due to be honest, I think to all the programs bizarre I kept adding) & got to the stage of non-boot. A question of the OS or the PC out the window. I couldn't keep as net contact for more than afew hours either. I was going crazy! I've just read another mail. Maybe I'll have a look at Slackware too; decisions ...decisions...

I can't live on a Live CD forever.

I don't know when you're bithday is, but I'll be 49 years old in 2 weeks, so I guess I beat you?

I built my first computer 7 years ago, with a Duron 1300, & went n to Mandrake because I was too broke (luckily, looking back!!) to buy Windows. I 'learnt' Linux, being stuck in bed for a while (ah! the 'problems' of old age!) and now I'm a fervent windows hater.

I'm looking for a distro nw tha runs on RPM's, or smething that makes it as easy to keep track of installations, & that I can adapt to my own specs..

Anyone out there got an idea?

I think there's a couple of 75 year olds, and a few in their 60's (including me), so you're mere youngsters yet.

>> "I'm looking for a distro nw tha runs on RPM's"

dont hesitate ... i think you can try fedora ... sometime the first installation(probably non-rpm distro i'm afraid) counts ... if not you will be kind of "homeless" like me ... ^_^

As my login name states "Dodjie60" I was born in 1960 March.

As for RPM's, I suggest Fedora or OpenSuse which is what I'm using now, triple boot.

Italy,La Spezia...

i was born in 1978 so i'll be 29 years old on the 27 th of may...

i'm a very young medicine doctor...

a beautiful 1.80m ,blond,green bright eyes piece of man...

i've started using pc in 1991 with ms-dos 5.0 then win 3.1 and so on mamma microsoft until 2005 when i dual booted win xp and mandrake 10.1,then fedora 6 then ubuntu 6.10 for a short while and now kubuntu 7.04...

to starlyte:i suggest you mandrake,i tried fedora 6,it lasted 1 day in my hd then formatted...too crash,too bad hardware recognition..

kubuntu is milions better...stable and very,very easy to use

now i dual boot win xp and kubuntu 7.04 very happily.keep win xp only for playing some point and click games...

hi to everyone !
