| Should I get HDD for Linux? Hi guys, I'm planning to install linux on my home box  just to look cool.. I'm j/k.. I just wanted to play around with it before I actually take the operating system shell programming class, which I think will surely use linux as the operating system. Haha..Anyways, which linux do you recommend me to try out? There are many kinds out there  I'm thinking to go with Gentoo or Ubuntu. But I heard that Ubuntu sucks, so I'm considering something else.. any recommendation? If I buy the new HDD for the linux, do I need to format it other than NTFS or FAT ??? thx..what IDEs do you use to write codes on linux? __________________           |

| Linux doesn't have native support for either NTFS or FAT given that they are both Microsoft technologies. There are some projects to mount NTFS drives on linux www.linux-ntfs.org - Home and Paragon NTFS for Linux: Mount NTFS under Linux - Read-Write IDEs depends on what language/system you want to use there is KDevelop - an Integrated Development Environment - Homepage for KDE a list of various ones at List of integrated development environments - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia And you might be able to get a copy of Kylix, which was Borland's Delphi & C++ Builder for Linux from eBay or Amazon. __________________ Chris Indifference will be the downfall of mankind, but who cares?

| I cancelled my mind about this I guess I would be cool with Windows  I guess Linux is just.... kind of useless, if I'm not dealing much with Operating System well, i know soon or later I will, but for now I'll just go with ASP.NET and PHP __________________ |
