I have a lot of questions

Ajai · 07-23-2003, 01:57 AM

1) What is the best linux distro for a Mac? I have an iMac 333MHz.

2) What is the best linux distro for a powerbook 100 MHz?

3) Are there any Mac OS X look alike themes for any linux distros?

4) Is there anything like a taskmanager in linux so as to force-quit some applications?

Thanks in advance

Mandrake 9.1 is an excellent distro with a lot of hardware support.

3) There are so many Aqua themes for various window managers and programs like GKrellm and media playing apps that it almost hurts!

I made one too, for Fluxbox.

(Problems with the Freshmeat upload atm though

)

4) You can use the terminal/console command to list the processes and then kill them, or send various signals. Man top, ps and kill.

How do I know what jobs are running or how do i find out a PID for an application?

Man top, ps, kill.

Really, top or ps will get that. ps -aux will get just about everything.
