FlaviusV · 06-18-2006, 03:30 PM

Hi, I am seeking for any good distribution of Linux for a new laptop (Pentium M 1,73 GHz, 768 MB RAM and so on).
I am just a little penguin - almost absolute beginner with Linux.
I would like this features:

- support of NTFS (writing too, I read that now is this possible)
- simple support of WiFi networks
- GNOME 2.12 (I read something about it and seemed cool)

Thank you for your advices... Flavius

Available, but writing is still experimental.

May have to use ndiswrapper with the Windows drivers.

Fedora, SuSE, Gnoppix, etc. Even if one doesn't come with GNOME, you can install it yourself.

Knoppix 5 is currenty the eaisest "out of the box" so to speak for NTFS read and write support (FUSE). Right click on the drive icon on the desktop and change read write mode. Completly safe using FUSE as opposed to Captive NTFS
