Linux.

[TeamXtreemer]

I am thinking of getting Linux for my computer, I've heard it uses much les ram, does anyone know how I can get it without a disk? Or if you can use USB SDs or something else, what Linux should I use?


Thanks.

Use a Ubuntu, but not the latest version, because it has problems with Internet connections.

Or you could always try and find DSL (Damn Small Linux)

I don't have internet problems with the latest ubuntu, but the Unity shell isn't as good as the old GNOME 2.x one.

Well, I'm using Ubuntu ATM, I've installed it, but I can't seem to be able to install Java in a .bin file. I tried the command

Code: [Select]

$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdkand

Code: [Select]

matthew@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo chmod +x java.bin
(That one just did nothing, it made a new line, that's it.The Java setup file in on my desktop, called java.bin

DP: Well, I converted it to an RPM file, but I have no idea what to do to that, any ideas?
