Yeah, they seem nice, but that installer sucks big time. >_<

luckily then, you only need to endure the installer once, and after 10 minutes, the nightmares over. But seriously... you wont find a more simple installer than Ubuntu. if you really like horror stories, take a look at the Linux From Scratch installer

Hmm...well, come to think of it, I know a Linux geek, and maybe he'd install Kubuntu for me. But, Yellow Dog is supposed to be easy to configure for dialup modems. I'd plan on boosting RAM anyway....but then there's the risk of my sound not working (If I went with Yellow Dog, that is).
Of course, I could always just get a used IBM ThinkPad for $350-$400 from that Linux-lover friend, with MEPIS installed.....

Which Flavour Of Linux Do You Use ? (kernel)
Kernel... NOT anouther distro thread (7) Usually, i use the plain un-patched vanilla kernel, or the Gentoo patched kernel. And they both work
quite nicely. But on my last linux compile, i chose a slightly different optimisations setting in
/etc/make.conf. and the desktop wasnt quite as responcive as it used to be, under heavy disk use,
for example video editing. so i started looking at other ways of increacing desktop responciveness,
in other ways that re-comiling the whole system. this is when i came across the Con Kolivas'

what I've been doing, as I have quite a few old 486 and Pentium-S based computers laying around,
is putting together computers for people who either do not have the money to go all out and have a
