[wlug_org] Installfest docs / distro guides

[Brent Wood]

I was figuring that the target audience would appreciate some useful guides to
the available distros, to help them firstly choose which one they believe will
suit them best, as well as some sort of guide to help them use & configure it.

They (& some of us) are only amateurs, after all :-)

I have used the reviews & help from "The Jem Report" before & found it very
useful.

There are some very useful SUSE reviews as well as guides to installing
improved multimedia/DVD support which I think could be very useful. All
available as PDF files.

I'll print out & bring a few copies of these for SLED 10 & OpenSUSE 10.1:

His reviews of Ubuntu 6.06 are less than complimentary however.

(probably not a good idea to supply this one)

If anyone knows of something similar for other distros which they believe it
would be useful to provide at the 'fest, can they post them here?


Jethro, it might be useful to add links to these (& others on the 'fest web
page?


Cheers,
