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I just upgraded an out of date Red Hat box, to the new distro.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

:thumbsup

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

Meh

I'll stick to Slackware thanks... set and forget baby :thumbsup

1998 called, they want their buzzword back.

You strike me is a Linspire user.

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

Very nice distro indeed, and it keeps getting better! :pimp

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. :thumbsup

i just ordered the new cds :thumbsup :thumbsup

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.

Ubuntu rock da house ! pretty amazing for any new linux user how its easy to handle :thumbsup

:pimp Sam

I am using Fedora, but I have heared good things about this Ubuntu, maybe I will take a look at it.

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 just upgraded from Fedora 4 to 5 and works perfectly. You might want to check it out as well.

I use Xubuntu (XFCE) because Ubuntu uses gnome which is a bloated memory hog.

been using Ubuntu for three months now. So far im satisfied with it :thumbsup

Did someone call Ubuntu?

All this geek talk is getting me excited...

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.

:thumbsup

About every 6 months there is a new distro people masturbate over. The whole package manager thing isn't anything new. Gentoo Linux has had portage for years and years. FreeBSD has had Ports for longer than that. Anything beats windows though.

It's Debian with lots of bells and whistles, so yeah - just apt-get like you're used to.
