Ubuntu Switch
Sunday, May 29th, 2005 at 1:52 amSo, two weeks ago I switched to Ubuntu from Debian Sid. Did the whole format thing and everything. I have to say I like Ubuntu, even though I usually hate ‘user friendly’ distros; Ubuntu may be userfriendly, but underneath it still has the whole Debian framework, so its still easy to use (instead of being forced to use badly thought out ‘user friendly’ GUI tools).
Nice part is, it boots about 10-15 seconds faster on my P3 550 workstation (at least some of that is attributed to my 5 year old Debian install). The KDE distro is well packaged too, and Ubuntu comes with X.org by default (instead of the old method I was using by stealing X.org from Ubuntu, and replacing Sid’s XF86 with it.)
All in all, its now the best distro on the planet, kicking Debian from that title.
