Making Me Don a Red Hat
I first cut teeth in the Linux world in December 2004, when I gave Linspire a spin. After having tested several distros, I settled on SUSE (now openSUSE) from 9.2, which was current at that time, up until the current stable release, 11.0. While I have been waiting for 11.1, I heard about the coming Fedora 10. Now, I auditioned Fedora starting at version 6 (when it was called Fedora Core), and tried 7 and 8. For some reason, I didn?t give 9 a try, but I heard a lot of good things about it and • Microsoft and Novell at two: Was the patent pact worth it?

I will not let Robertson bully or intimidate me with • On the Linux laptop the distro is key

In the process I learned an important lesson. Know your distro. It took me a lot of trial and error but I finally learned this particular laptop runs the Xandros distro, and I learned what that means. This is the distro formerly known as Linspire, and before that known as Lindows. It?s not a lot of fun.
