Linux 4 newbies
GenuineAdvantage:
I would add PCLinuxOS to this. The latest version. Though the Ubuntu that is due this June should be more feature rich.

Can you easilly install Knoppix and Feather to your hard disk?
What would be nice is to have a Live CD with an install feature and a good non-fuckupable package system with a large repository.

Feel free to suggest ones you have tried and liked, and are very user friendly (for n00bs).
I don't think Knoppix can be easily installed to HDD ... never tried though so I don't really know. Same with Feather. But, I know you can easily install DSL to HDD ... I've done it ... unfortunately, it may not be as easy for n00bs to use. I personally don't think it's that difficult, but it's hard to think like a n00b, do you think DSL is too hard for n00bs ?
Is the word n00b insulting anyone ... ? I dunno what else to call people new to Linux ... who need very user friendly interfaces or they'll run away back to M$.
H_TeXMeX_H:
Uh oh ... Debian and all Debian-based distros fail to recognize my HDD !!! :eek: How insane ! Looks like I'm stuck with FC.
Any ideas ?
My HDD is a HITACHI_DK23EA-60

Knoppix can be installed to hard drive but it shouldn't as many problems are encountered (take a look at Knoppix's website for more information) mainly because it's not designed to run from HD.
And n00b can be taken more readily taken as an insult than newbie as thats what it was originally intended as.
H_TeXMeX_H:
newbie it is then ... would an admin or moderator mind changing the name of the post to newbie rather than n00b ... to be politically correct, thanks.
P.S. BTW I never tried to install DSL on my laptop ... it was a friend's computer.
