The most fool-proof GNU/Linux distro I have ever seen. A boon for IBM Thinkpad and HP/Compaq laptop owners. The touch-pad and the volume control buttons work out-of-the-box, and so does the help button on the keyboard. A huge improvement over my existing Fedora Core 2 installation, which required some obscure GRUB hacks to make the touch-pad work and the volume control never worked from the buttons provided.
Synaptic provides a wonderful GUI front-end to apt for those addicted to Windoze's click-and-go feel. Whether you want to install KDE and convert to KUbuntu or want to install the latest codecs, all that you need is to click the correct button in Synaptic. No need to use the console to un-tar, configure and make your packages.
Although I am still sticking to good old Fedora Core 2, I know people who have migrated to Ubuntu Breezy Badger. I am just keeping my fingers crossed and waiting for Ubuntu 6.04 Dapper Drake to be released in April 2006. If Mark Shuttleworth and Canonical keep their promise to deliver a 'real zinger' and with M$'s Vista slated for release, we might have a delicious battle on our hands! May the freedom fighter win!
Yeah Ubuntu's Dapper Drake is going to be awesome. Even I'm deadly waiting for that. This apt-get is far more better than the fedoras Yum. I'm aslo in the list of ppl who migrated from windows to Suse and finally to Ubuntu. I'm feeling pretty comfortable here. I made upgrade to Kubuntu. Not only that Installed Apache, Mysql and successfully working Drupal CMS. Hey you got new shipment rt what all architecture are there in it? Do you what all new feature that are going to be there on Dapper Drake? Even I've written an article on Ubuntu series do check it out. http://geek-tale.blogspot.com
