Please advice me about using Linux distro > like as Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo, Fedora! I ended up wiping freebsd and going with linux too. (for me, I needed audacity and I just could not make it work on freebsd for anything, not matter how hard I tried) Anyway, if you like freebsd ports, gentoo is OK. You can compile stuff with settings that apply to whatever YOU need instead of the generic settings. Slackware is nice & simple. (but can be hard to maintain) I don't recommend any of the debian variants, largely because you might have to deal with other debian people, it's like a cult culture or something over there, debiantology. The RPM stuff (fedora & redhat) seems really great at first, until it blows up and you're stuck in dependency hell. Perhaps they've improved that by now though. my corporate-ish clients use the RPM based linux because I haven't talked them into freebsd :-) Jamie -- http://www.geniegate.com Custom web programming Perl * Java * UNIX User Management Solutions
