  • 家园 Some good articles regarding Linux Distro

    Sorry no Chinese input in Office.

    Since many guys asked how to choose a Linux Distributions, there are some good articles:

    http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=lfs

    I personally prefer Mandrake. About 2 years ago, I had a LinkSys USB wireless card. It was a nightmare to set it up in Linux.

    I had to download source code, compile and configure it. There was no lucky on Red hat and others. Finally I made it on Mandrake.

    • 家园 Great!

      One thing i want to know:

      It seems FreeBSD or Gentoo Linux is the most difficult distros to install manually. But from the second link you give here (Linus From Scratch), it seems LFS is a more challenging one.

      Can you compare LFS and FreeBSD/Gentoo?

      Btw, can FreeBSD be installed in PC?

      thanks,

      • Great!
        家园 LFS is definitely not for the faint heart.

        It is about building a Linux system from the scratch, literally.

        Even with the well written, detailed, step-by-step instructions, compiling everything from the kernel to libc to all applications is still challenging: time consuming, tedious and error prone.

        You have to know how to use the tool chain (compiler/linker) fairly well. You will have to be comfortable with command line, You cannot be afraid of digging into tons of error messages and even more source code. Depending on your machine, you will need hours, if not days, to wait for the compilation finishing.

        One more disadvantage for beginners. It requires a working Linux system as the build ground.

        It is great for learning Linux, though.

      • Great!
        家园 Sorry, I have no idea regarding Gentoo.

        FreeBSD is definitely OK with PC.

    • 家园 Thanks man!
