A good Desktop Linux?
 

What's a good stable desktop distro? I have tried SuSe but the free Personal version has errors on it so I can't get it to work, and I have tried Mandrake 10 but it won't install on my computer keeps freezing, so tell me whats a good version of linux, for general net browsing, maybe some stuff like Word and all that.


Thanks

Might want to look into Slackware it is a little harder to install, not much.

ok I'll look into it :) any other suggestions?

Knoppix Live CD or HDD Install is a nice system.

I'll check that out, more suggestions welcome, also anyone know a good place to get screenshots of these linux versions interfaces?

Found ScreenShots of Knoppix and yes it does look VERY nice :), I am trying to find a fast mirror for it now.

Check www.linuxiso.org
Also if you want to install it to HDD when you go into the system hit Ctrl+Alt+F2 then type knoppix-installer.

oh it won't do it for me, thanks for telling me :-P would have been wondering why it wasn't working after I removed the disk :-p

lol

Just curious how long does it usually take to install? and I am guessing this is a live CD, so I will probably use it as live first just to see if I actually like it.

Yeah its a live CD, and it dont take long to install.

great :) best download I could find was 100kb/s so I will have to settle for it, but thanks a ton man :)

np :D

Hmm, it didn't work

What didnt work, the install ?
