Hello Glluggers ,
I'm in need of a new distro , my redhat 9 system is starting to drift
away
from the back of the cutting edge since it got end of life'd and i'm
thinking about moving to Fedora Core 2 .
I've used Redhat for a long time and quite like it , not so keen on
debian
desktops and my system is so slow (450mhz) that building gentoo would
take
too long.
I have another box which does all the server functions for me so i just
want a comfy desktop to use the other box from , play mp3's , watch
tv/dvds , browse the web , write perl in emacs , bit of gimping ,
OOo , IRC , hopefully some audio stuff and network monitoring.
So in essence my questions are :
What success/disaster have people had with Fedora Core 2 as a desktop
system ?
What have other Redhat 9 users done in this situation ?
If anyone is interested the box in question is an AMD K63-450 , 386MB RAM
, 12 GB Harddisk , USB wireless network, Miro PCTV card and DVD drive .
Toodle-pip
