    Ubuntu! I am Impressed

    I just upgraded an out of date Red Hat box, to the new distro.

    I am major impressed.

    Best Linux distro I have used.

      The live CD is great if you just want to get set up quickly.

                      I've been a Ubuntu loyalist since Breezy Badger ...

                      Very nice distro indeed, and it keeps getting better!

                          has slackware finally gotten some sort of package management?

                              Yes... has a pkgtool system kind of like freebsd, checkinstall for making your own packages and various different third party tools for updating. It's the ultimate distro for setting up high performance secure servers quickly and easily.

                                      I'm a debian fan, but I can respect your devotion... I've tried to debate the merits witha slackware fan in the past.. it always ends in a standstill... Slackware was a decent distro last time I used it. With package management, its probably damn good.

                                                  I was using for Ubuntu for most of this year, and I hae to admit I enjoyed it. It's a very useful distribution for sure. I'm on XP again now, due to some verious hardware issues and convenience, but I'll probably setup a new Ubuntu box soon.

                                                      Does it have a package manager similar to the debian or the macosx Fink package manager?

                                                                          I am not familiar with those package managers.

                                                                          The one it does have is very impressive. Just check the new updates task, or do an add programs task, click, click, and the install does its thing.

Gentoo Linux has had portage for years and years. FreeBSD has had Ports for longer than that. Anything beats windows though.
