Choosing a Linux Distro

well for the matter of general discussion whether the problem is solved ,i prefer GNOME , because i feel its light weight then the other environments .

and beauty of linux variants is that , they come with a live CD you can try it out with some options and select the best one whichever suits you :]

currently , my machine is running on ubuntu lucid .

fedora , linux mint , open SUSE are also good

I have Linux mint on my dell 1705 laptop with Windows XP pro.
It was so easy to install. I like it. Performance is not an issue for me. Ease of use is what I need. No trouble finding my wireless home LAN. Works great. Some others I tried did do not play well with lmy laptop.

Two things:

-GNOME isn't a distro, it's a desktop environment (which you somewhat alluded too

-It's not the lightest: the lightest is probably LXDE or XFCE. GNOME and KDE are the two heaviest desktop environments in common use.

Yeah, it's great for maintenance as well

Mint 7 hardly found anything on my laptop, and it's network connection kept dropping off when I finally got it working. Mint 10 however had absolutely no issues at all, and it has become my main OS on my laptop.

This is my problem about this activities:

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Develop a utility that will enhance the current file management and
organization functions of Linux.

You may use existing file management commands to create the utility.
Look for options that were not explored by the command yet, then
enhance the command by reinventing its name and adding this option
to its current options.

You may combine related commands into one script also.
Example:
copyormovefile (-c -m) filename/s
where:
copyormovefile is the name of the utility
(-c -m) are options that will do the following:
-c for copying filename/s
-m for moving filename/s


Thanks for helping me, how can i do these,? T_T

soniaholly1, all comm nets are welcome. However, this topic is almost a year old. New versions of Linux have been released that address some issues mentioned here.
