All,
I have a 15-year old nephew that is giving Linux a shot on his PC.
Somehow a friend of his gave him a copy of Fedora 5 so he currently
has that installed. Obviously I need to get him on a newer distro.
His 2 big complaints are no DIV-X player for multimedia and no first
person shooter games.
i've never done much of either with Linux but they seem like
overcome-able issues at least at some level, so I'm curious what would
be a good distro to move him to. One of the issues is an easy
software install system for games, since I assume he will want to try
various ones.
I would prefer to either go to OpenSUSE 10.3 or Fedora 8 since I will
likely end up helping him out.
Also, is there a mailinglist for young newbie linux users like him?
Thanks
Greg
