This has been a great news for me that I am going switch to Linux from
Windows XP, I am bored using it, many viruses and also high cost to
maintain. Apart from it, I came to know that there are many linux and
more specifically distributions. So really speaking, I am a bit
confused between them, want to give try to Fedora but a picture of
opensuse comes in mind, then some other distribution...While I know
that these are fedora mailing list and anyone is going to give
directions for only Fedora, but can one honestly tell me the
differences between Fedora and opensuse? I came to know from some
people that not to try Ubuntu (I don't know why they said so) and said
that most of the people in Ubuntu mailing lists are more of dumbs, so
I have claimed this question here only but I am really new -- what you
guys think the best, please do tell me....
Now since my mind has become a little negative for Ubuntu, I just
wanted to know the truth (remaining) between opensuse and Fedora, and
for rest of the distributions more -- I would really not look for I
would be confused more.

As the great Yogi Berra once said "This is like deja vu all over
again."<br>

Nearly the exact same question came up very recently on this
list...as well as the Ubuntu list...as well as the openSUSE list.
Even all of the responses seem nearly the same. Not only that, the
"new" person was also from the same country.<br>

One thing that I don't think anyone has mentioned.... "New" members
to the list are (or should be) encouraged to *check the archives* at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/">http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/</a> to see if a question
has come up recently. They can also search the archives. This can
save them, and others a whole lot of time rather than going over the
same thing....especially things that are very much slanted towards
opinion.<br>
