does WUBI also install fedora and suse.do we have to install diferent distros in different partitions or we can use the same partition as WUBI does?

best thing for you is to run linux inside a virtual machine... try getting the free VirtualPC from MS or VMWare Server and install the OS inside it.best and safest way for you to learn and experiment.it's much better than you asking annoying questions and dragging along this topic you started for pages and pages...ps: now i bet you will start asking what is vmware, virtualpc etc etc... instead of STFW-ing.

last ques.where can i get opensuse?i visited their website,Dled the torrent.it has no seeds and peers.dead speeds.http is also pathetic.only 60-64kBps.

 

[vishalrao]

if you want opensuse then wait for the next version 10.3 which will come next month on a single CD. current version needs to download 3-5 CDs which is inconvenient.for now, and for simplicity, get ubuntu 7.04 off ubuntu.com, it is just a single CD will take 3-4 hrs download at 60 kBps...good luck with it and happy trolling

i have installed ubuntu 7.04.Working gr8.A bit alien kinda interface but i will get used to it as i further use it.i am also DLing fedora 7.91 or so.and my DL speed on fedora is 210+kBps.it is arnd 3 GB as it has heavy graphix.But on opensuse i can burn it on a dvd,no need to do that on 5 cd's.but ill go with u and wait 4 a month 4 the next version to be launched.when will fedora 8 be launched?any other gud distros?

 

[Sushubh]

umm if u think you would find something exciting in other distros... you are i think mistaken.just the branding is different rest is same.

 

[abtom]

but i like fedora's graphix.hey,is wine already installed on ubuntu?

 

[Sushubh]

install wine through synaptics...as for graphix.. i do not understand... if you are talking about compiz/beryl... u can install it on ubuntu... fedora can technically have nothing that ubuntu cant have.

 

[abtom]

install wine through synaptics...
how?i mean canu explain?

 

[Sushubh]

system > administration > synaptic package manageru would find thousands of applications that u can install on ur machine from here!
