Selecting an OS for my new laptop.
This was one of the most fun things I endeavoured to do in terms of technology for the last couple of years. My Windows Vista Home Premium which came in bundled with my Acer Laptop was sooo slow, that it seemed like I was using an obsolete piece of equipment. Incidentally, my Acer Travelmate is an AMD Turion X2 64Bit machine with 2 GB DDR2 RAM and 120 GB HDD with Nvidia GO6100 Card. Not cutting edge by any standards but no slouch either. And it seemed slower than my IBM T43 Thinkpad that I have from my office, running XP. I was thinking that I could try Linus for a change and see what advances have happened since the last time I tried to install Red Hat, not too successfully. Will explain that some other time.
So I searched the net and came up with some good ideas to the latest Distros. Did'nt even know what a distro meant then. The ones which seemed to top the charts were common throughout. So I downloaded live CDs for the following. Just to give it a spin on my laptop.
Ubuntu
Xubuntu
openSuse
PCLinuxOS
gOS
Mandriva
Knoppix
Linpus
Freespire
and on my older PC Box:
Xubuntu
Puppy Linux
DSL
My experience was as follows:
Ubuntu
Installation: Installed easily, did'nt need to do much.
Usability: Found it easy to use and access the folders. For a new person it was fairly easy to understand.
What Worked: Sound card was detected, graphics card was installed easily. Connected through cable to my router easily.
What Did'nt: Wifi didn't configure properly. Had a might tough time with installing drivers and getting the wifi to work. But I managed it. Still don't know if it was the ndiswrapper or the FWcutter. But it works just fine now. Sleep/Resume and Hibernate/Resume seems to be buggy. The start/end screens started giving problems such as flickering black, no shutdown text and no shut down screens after I installed the proprietary nVidia video drivers.
Comments: I would highly recommend this one to anybody without a hitch.
My Score: 9/10
Xubuntu
Installation: Installed easily, did'nt need to do much.
Usability: Found it easy to use and access the folders. For a new person it was fairly easy to understand. Was quicker than Ubuntu. One of the fastest distros that I have ever tried.
What Worked: Sound card was detected, graphics card was installed easily. Connected through cable to my router easily.
What Did'nt: Wifi didn't configure properly. Had a might tough time with installing drivers and getting the wifi to work. But I managed it. Could'nt get the wifi working in the 2 hrs I tried.
Comments: I would highly recommend this one to anybody without a hitch. So much documentation was available online but very little for Hardy Heron. But most of them were relevant to all releases.
My Score: 9/10
openSuse (both 32 and 64 bit)
Installation: Installed easily, did'nt need to do much.
Usability: Found it easy to use and access the folders. For a new person it was fairly easy to understand. 32 bit version seemed quicker on my computer than 64 bit. I didn't test it but this is my impression.

What Did'nt: Wifi didn't configure properly. Had a might tough time with installing drivers and getting the wifi to work. But I managed it. Could'nt get the wifi working in the 2 hrs I tried.
Comments: I would recommend to anyone who needs a solid OS. Help was difficult to find.
My Score: 8.5/10
PCLinuxOS
Installation: Installed easily, did'nt need to do much.
Usability: Found it easy to use and access the folders. For a new person it was fairly easy to understand. Layout was very Windows user style friendly, if you know what I mean.

Comments: Seemed like a well rounded package. Didn't catch my attention enough to continue to use it.
My Score: 7.5/10
I will update my experience with the other distros soon.
