I’ve gone back to using Centos Enterprise Linux on my notebook. I enjoyed a nearly two month experience with Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake. I’m impressed by the Ubuntu community and how well they support their users. However, I’ve been attempting to do some development work with MySQL and PHP and I just couldn’t get Apache, MySQL and PHP to work well on Dapper Drake. I downloaded the Centos 4.3 DVD with Azureus burned the disk and performed the installation. I must say it’s nice to be back in a more Red Hat centric world.
I really enjoyed Dapper Drake but most of my Linux experience has been with Red Hat, Fedora, Centos and Mandrake. Centos is a great distribution if you haven’t tried it. I started using it a year ago and I’ve really come to like it. I must say that Dapper Drake recognized my Intell 2200BG wireless card right out of the box. With Centos I had to download the ipw2200-firmware-2.2-5.at.noarch.rpm driver to get my wireless card to operate. Centos has their own “up2date” libraries and I’m using Dag Wieers yum and apt repositories to download and install extra software.
