i have uses WIN95/98 WINXP,ubuntu7.10/Edubuntu ,Fedora8 and suse 10.3 as a Os installed on my comp and also tried out vista, mandravia win2000/ME
of all this i found suse hardly need anything more to be installed but when you actually try to use the default stuffs you come to know i as well use some other os and install them. As most have some other other problem
i have tred using the default
- java
- tomcat
- mysql
- apache
- csharp
- c & perl
you cant consider c and perl coz they are the basis of linux/unix .Other than this only Csharp worked without any problem(strange considering it is by microsoft).
I had tough time using apache (i.e enabling ssi and using ,htaccess) . Default tomcat didnt have some java.lang. something
mysql didnt work with perl. Java has some classpath related problem(ok this one is not entirely their fault).
there are problem even ith the terminal (when i do full screen the screen goes blank and onlyafter i click on title bar will the text be again visible)
banshee continues to plays the song even if it’s closed in mid play(Computer icon needs to be clicked twice ( i dont mean double click).
in terms of userfriemdly ness ati’s as good or as bad as most other linux distros expect ubuntu’s linux. Even fedora seams to be a bit easier than suse.
I tried to rectify them but to no vail. one more problem the instalation is not clean all files are not at one place one at one s/w are not at one location
There are a few more minor ones but so many visible bugs is not expected from such a company
