I have Red Hat 7.0 installed on my PC.The audio is not clear.I hear a hissing noise with the mp3 songs I play.If anyone know the solution ,please write to me.

bye,

I started with RH, and worked great. Then I started trying serveral distros, no slackware yet, and Mandrake gets the job done.

It has newer packages than RH, and the configuration is THE SAME as RH. The config files are in the same places, so you can tweak your systems as you do with RH.

I think that Mandrake is not just for newbies, but for people who whats the job done!

I second that.

I have installs of Mandrake 8.1 and Redhat 7.2 and I have found that installing Mandrake and getting it running correctly is much easier than on Redhat. Mandrake has better automatic hardware recognition. For the newbie (like me) this is great, but half the fun of using Linux is learning how it all works and I have found that I have learned more getting my Redhat box setup correctly. I definately give Mandrake the nod for initial usability, but once I get my Redhat configged good I believe it will be my preferred system.

i wouldn't be suprised if you formed the same opinion with redhat and slack. I found slack to be much faster to run with it's default services and such, and scaling up (not by much) what you learnt from redhat, you should be easily able to get slack going. unless i do LFS first, i'll be changing to slackware once i finish university. I would do it sooner but things are kinda working nicely at the moment, and i've no item to start again.

hm... i asked this question before but was never really answered in a satisfactory manner. what's the diff between rh and slack? i mean besides the packages that are included, of course.

i have the impression that the main diff is in the inetd / xinetd stuff... and there's this thing about some config scripts somewhere...

again, if you don't have time to answer, just point me to it and i'll RTFM

oh and acidkewpie, the link in your signature is fantastic... sad to say i bought some of those books now it's all online... sigh. :looks at hole in pocket:

Flip a coin man!!!!!!!!

there's a big dance coming up and he has to decide between Veronica and Betty. On one hand, Moose has threatened to "rough him up" if he touches Betty but Archie knows that if he dates Betty it will infuriate the snobbish Veronica. Is it worth the risk? Will Mr. Weatherbee come up with a good answer?

Jeez kids. This distro wars stuff is beyond friggin tedious. Any technical question languishes away unanswered for weeks while we pointlessly bash a kernel with some applications arranged around it. I've heard that football gangs could always use a few new members. Check it out.

Troll? Maybe.

I agree. These "which is better" posts are getting ridiculous. You're going to get at least 50 different answers. Do like a lot of us and try a bunch of different ones until you find the one you like. Who cares what someone else thinks of the one that you choose.

I have both Redhat 7.2 and Mandrake 8.1 on my computer, as well as FreeBSD4.5 and windows ...

Mandrake 8.1 is my favorite Linux distro, but I'm beginning to tire of rpms. Anyway, the one bone that I have to pick with Redhat is that the PPPoE packages that are included with it do NOT work. Nor is there any asdl-start script. Thankfully roaring penguin was available and work without a hitch.

Then get slackin'.

Personally, I use Redhat because it has better support for software (especially development software). In other words, most software that come out for the linux platform are compatible with redhat first and then the rest, if ever.

I think you'll find that the source comes first and the rpm's follow some time later, if you really want to be on the bleeding edge then you should be using slack, gentoo, sorceror or LFS.

hehe wow, i'm not the only stuck record around here after all. Maybe my continual tirade against KDE is in a perspective after all!

...but I like KDE....
