GO LINUX!!!!!!!!!!!! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

I'm glad a fellow costarican also likes Linux, hehehe.

Linux is much better that Windows, because it's free and it's a better product.


Bye!! Cool

You really think? Well I also used Linux but I think it's a bit strange, maybe because I used windows too much

Could be... But Linux works very similar to Windows, though much better because you don't get so many viruses and stuff like that... Besides it's FREE.

If someone still hesitate, then there is all explained.
http://polishlinux.org/gnu/10-reasons-to-dump-windows-part-i/

I'm using Linux over year now and don't miss windows at all. But first time I tried it on year 1999 I think. It was mandrake linux that time. I also tried Corel Linux. but I did not stayed then on linux that time long. Since I had 486 computer then, but all distributions I was able to get, were optimized to i586. and I was not experienced enough to compile all my self.

Now I'm using Arch Linux. It's very simple. All configuration can be done by editing one single /etc/rc.conf file.. And allways can update to newest stable software. When in mandriva example it was very difficult to get new version of KDE to working.. I had to wait new release of Mandriva to get new KDE.

I think also to install gentoo, I have tied it last year about 3 times, but did not get it working in way I like.. if not before then when I get new faster computer I'm surely will Install also gentoo beside of Arch
