Whats better that or mepis?

Linspire's no good?
Isn't there a Linux distro that doesn't use the GNU tools? I seem to remember one.
The *nix world further fragments, as all the Unix profits slowly leave the building.
Microsoft Says Recovery from Malware Becoming Impossible
In a rare discussion on the severity of the Windows malware scourge, a Microsoft security official said businesses should consider investing in an automated process to wipe hard drives and reinstall operating systems as a practical way to recover from malware infestation.

Yup. Reinstall, Reboot. It's the Microsoft Way.
Torvalds? Isn't his dad a big time communist? And Stallman? Leftist whacko, right?
Are you saying these systems weren't rebuilt, or shouldn't have been rebuilt?

Yep, and historically a major source of embarrassment for Linus and friction between him and his father. Sorry, your guilt-by-association tactic fails as usual.
And Stallman? Leftist whacko, right?
We've already been over that. We agree on that point. Others you mischaracterize as being Stallman followers also have stated their agreement on this point, even being more vicious in their description of him.
So you can stop it already. It doesn't work. It only pushes you further into the loon category.
I wish Bush2000 was back. We disagreed a lot, but at least he was intelligent, and his trolling a fun game at times. You're just a bore.
Useful article. Thanks for posting.
Its an ok distro but I think it sacrifices some of the workstation power behind Linux to make it act like windows..
Score (2) "We get it you dont Like Open Source Software"

"Linspire's no good?"
It's worth every penny you pay for it.
I like Gnome Mahjong. It rocks.
You Are Irrelevant.
Having made the jump to Linux (virtually alone) a little over a year ago, there's more than a few pearls of wisdom that I've learned here and along the way and would like to add.
So while this might be a vanity post, I believe there's a couple of pieces of "food for thought" that people considering Linux should take into account.
Call me a little biased, but I personally recommend Suse to new Linux users. However, Fedora and Mandriva are also very good choices.
Of course, it depends a lot on what you plan to use Linux for and the experience you have with *nix systems. For example, it's not very likely a person who's always run Windows to install and run Gentoo, BSD, or Slackware.
Many people want to keep a dual-boot running--for whatever reason. I've personally found that using a distro with a graphical installer makes it easier to resize an existing (most often, Windows) partition and enable both OSs to boot correctly.
Another thing is to keep in mind other users. Example: if you're the only one who's comfortable with *nix, it's not always the wisest option to run a more advanced distro. Many people simply require a smooth transition as opposed to a steep jump (think the old phrase "baptism by fire").
I know very little about Mempis.
There is a Live CD version of Vector Linux just out.
Not sure how to install it to a HDD though.
