I would say they are just different, not better or worse, though if<br>
you like a GUI package management tool, nothing beats "synaptic"<br>
on the ubuntu/debian family (I tend to prefer the command line<br>
tools since I use ssh to get to most systems and don't want<br>
to fool with remote X display, so for me it doesn't matter<br>
much if I use yum versus apt-get or rpm versus dpkg - it is<br>
just a question of sorting out all the command line options).<br></blockquote></div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Nov 2, 2011 at 8:10 PM, n2xssvv.g02gfr12930 <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:n2xssvv.g02gfr12930@ntlworld.com">n2xssvv.g02gfr12930@ntlworld.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

idea to install it in VirtualBox first, so you can play with linux &<br>
windows at the same time, and make the transition easier.<br></blockquote><div class="gmail_quote"> <br>On Wed, Nov 2, 2011 at 10:02 PM, suvayu ali <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:fatkasuvayu%2Blinux@gmail.com">fatkasuvayu+linux@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

personally think live media is the least hassle free way to see what<br>

vanilla. And, most things you're going to install will be available in<br>
both forms. If you're looking for a highly secured distribution (or,<br>
"distro") Fedora is one good choice, as it includes SELinux: "Security<br>
Enhanced Linux."<br></blockquote><div><br>I agree with all of the above and try live CDs and going with .rpm side. </div></div></div></div> </div></div></div>-- <br>THX<br>
