Which Distribution Do You Use for Your Desktop? SUSE 9.1
|
|
I am from India and I started with Mandrake long back to learn programming. But after joining a job, I didn't used it for a considerable period. Now back in school, saw Suse 9.1 one fine day, since then I am using Suse.

Now I use Suse both on my school machine and on my laptop. Till Suse 9.3, wireless on laptop was an issue. But with v.10.0 on my Compaq X6000, wireless issue was solved and I nearly stopped using Windows. It was elegant, polished and had every application I needed (though g77 is an issue with eval DVD). But recently with my laptop stolen, I borrowed my friend's Dell Inspiron 9100. I need linux for my research work. But with Dell's lack of support for linux (wireless hardly works whatever drivers I use, ndiswrapper, linuxant both don't work), I am stuck with windows and ssh client.
I decided never to buy a Dell because of near zero support for linux. Also I wish linux has better wireless support. Thats the primary thing stopping me from making a complete migration to Linux. Also another issue (very very important for me and people from my region) is I can't read online newspapers (3 in no.) published in my native language. In windows, after storing the fonts in the fonts folder, firefox interprets them correctly. But in linux, it never does. fc-cache never worked. |
