Linux Specific Issues / Re: Why Ubuntu?
« on: September 15, 2007, 10:00:47 am »
I've been running Ubuntu for well over a year now and I have no complaints it.
It was the first debian based distro I tried. I had previously used Slackware 2.1, Redhat 7.3 through to 9 , Mandrake 10.1 and Fedora 4 and 5, but Ubuntu surprised me with it's live CD function and various other features that I had not seen previously in linux.
It installed with ease and it worked first time which amazed me, and I've never had any real issues with it. I can't say I've seen a more user friendly distro in my experience. Even my wife who's ... er... average with computers had no problems adapting to it's ease of use. I've stuck with it ever since.
