What is your preferite linux distribution?

Q. I know only Puppy Linux.
It doesn't need any driver for my graphic, sound and network card, whereas xp needs all the drivers.
However Puppy Linux isn't as advanced as xp!..

What linux based operating system do you prefer?

A. I have only tried Ubuntu, but have used openSUSE running KDE in the university library. I'd have to say Ubuntu is a good choice for beginners. openSUSE is not that bad. It's got a lot of eyecandies.

I have downloaded five other distributions to try next month when I've got my laptop (openSUSE, Mandriva, Fedora, Debian and Linux Mint). I'll tell you my Linux stories later. :)

How Can i install Linux OS in my Flash drive?
Q. Please tell me the method and source to download and install puppy Linux in my flash drive.

A. I don't think you can Install it on the flash drive. However you should be able to copy the files to the flash drive as long as the drive is big enough to contain them. As well, you can not boot from a Flash drive so you are better of using an external drive for this and boot from there. Hope this helps

how to get rid of a frugal install of lupu puppy linux?
Q. i installed lupu puppy linux in frugal mode so i could still use my windows 7 ultimate. i now want to take off puppy linux along with the grub4 bootloader. how do i do that without messing up my windows 7 install?
david its not that i am working on a open source operating system that looks and acts like windows for the people who don't want to spend money on windows and don't want to get used to linux. and i tried puppy linux first and it isn't going to work as well as ubuntu. and by the way i love linux its just i have a windows 7 ultimate and i play alot of games and linux doesn't work very well for gaming.

A. Hi
Sorry you are leaving Puppy Send me a message via yahoo answers for feedback.
Did things not work ie flash, itunes etc You need to put some effort in.
Linux is not like windows, if it was then we would only have windows!!!!!
or was puppy to basic, If so tru the ubuntu wubi file.
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/windows-installer

EITHER

Start up puppy
go to /boot/grub/menu.lst right click on menu.lst
This will open a text editor

and change
#timeout 30
to
timeout 3

move the windows entry to above the puppy linux entry in the file so windows starts first

title Windows 7
root (hd1,0)
savedefault
makeactive
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader +1

title Puppy Linux 528 frugal test in sda1 dir test
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
kernel /test/vmlinuz pmedia=atahd psubdir=test
initrd /test/initrd.gz

reboot
Grub screen will apear for 3 seconds then contue to boot windows

The pup files take up so little room that its useful to keep as puppy linux is used for antiviral work in windows 7!!!!!!

OR

If you have a win 7 cd

You need Windows 7 installation disk, boot it, choose repair option when you are asked to menu.

It will check automatically for start up problems. Let it check it.

-It will not find any problem with start up.

-It will allow to choose options. choose command prompt

-In Cmd you have to type just two following commands and grub will be removed

bootrec/fixmbr

bootrec/fixboot

Close cmd and restart your machine. That's Done

Remove the puppy directory and any sfs files you have used.

Only use the above with a windows 7 cd

DO NOT GO INTO COMMAND IN YOUR WHEN WINDOWS IS RUNNING
this has broken some windows 7 systems.

Use either method above.
