xierxior Posted March 18, 2002 Report Share Posted March 18, 2002 Slackware, it's small and doesnt come with all the bloatware applications redhat does. When you install slackware with a fat32 partition you have an option to make a new partition for linux, you just make the prapure partitions then at the end of the install it will ask you if you want to use LILO, just set-it-up to load into your hdd's mbr and wala dual boot. Il give a more detaild explanation if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Cmdr Posted March 18, 2002 Report Share Posted March 18, 2002 The normal procedure we have around here is to provide links to products that you are suggestion. The suggestion becomes pointless and worthless if the person you are seeking to inform, doesn't have a frigging clue what you're going on about.

OrphEum Posted March 18, 2002 Report Share Posted March 18, 2002 Personally, I like debian. It has a pretty good installation guide for x86 machines here and the apt-get feature for downloading debian packages is pretty smooth. OrphEum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
