Well, I’ve had Fedora Core 4 installed for sometime now, but haven’t been booting into it as much as I would have liked. But, last night I did and was suddenly reminded why I haven’t used it in a long time. It sucks! I can’t play mp3’s out of the box, much less does the soundcard work. Oh yeah, want to burn DVD’s?? Not on this distro (or maybe it just doesn’t work in Linux from what I’ve read).
Anyhoo, I’m trying to make an effort to learn Linux so I can effectively bash Windows as well, but so far have not found anything in Linux worthwhile. The only good thing I have found is that I can dual-boot easily with the Fedora Core install (what a relief that was). My question is then, which would you recommmend to me as the better of the beginner Linux versions? I am currently downloading Mandriva, and may download SuSE as well, but wanted some experienced users opinions.
