[NTLUG:Discuss] ubuntu anyone

[Ralph Green, Jr.]

Howdy,
  I use Ubuntu as one of my distros.  I like it.  It has been stable.
It is as easy to update as any Debian system, but has nice up to date
software.  I liked the first release because it was the only major
distro until recently that included Gnome 2.8, which I thought was a
noticeable improvement over earlier versions.  The second release of
Ubuntu is due isn a few days and it will include Gnome 2.10.  You can
bet I will be installing it.
  There have been a couple of add on packages that I remember having
problems with.  It was several months ago and I can't tell you which
ones they were.  I remember they were related to playing some kind of
video files.  I finally got whatever it was working, but it took a while
to track down some of the dependancies, which were not in multiverse,
universe, or anyplace I could find.  Sorry, I can't be more specific.
My overall impression is quite good and I would recommend Ubuntu to the
hobbyist, at least.
Good day,
Ralph
