[NTLUG:Discuss] Dallas Ubuntu Team

[. Daniel]

Actually, for learning and exercise purposes, I find that when everyone is 
reading from the same book, learning and teaching moves along a lot better. 
 I think the same would follow when it comes to OS distributions.  I'd be 
more thrilled if the distro was Fedora Core, but ultimately if everyone's 
using the same one, it's just easier no matter which one it happens to be.

I keep hearing great things about Ubuntu, though rarely anything specific.  
I've been a RedHat user almost since the beginning.  Fedora has finally 
gotten to the point that it is really slick and usable and I have remained 
with it so long simply because I know it best.  So for personal use, it's 
what I continue to use.  But I remain rather curious about Ubuntu... sure 
would like to find some specific motivating reasons to switch over.  I try 
not to blindly follow hype wherever possible.
