I'm thinkng of changing my new ThinkPad over to Ubuntu once the new distro (Edgy) comes out. It's supposed to have better WPA support and really fast boot up times for older machines.
Anyone here running Ubuntu or any other distro? If yes, feel free to share. And shave your neckbeard too.

I fooled around with a Dapper Drake livecd for a bit, but XP Pro's still my standard OS. Unbuntu sure has improved driver support and installation though, especially compared to my experiences with Mandrake and Debian

He did, I can vouch for that. Burning crusade goes from sounding like some kind of High Fantasy STD to a beautifal tapestry of color and sound.
Most of that is not sarcastic.

I've been using Kubuntu as my primary OS for several months now. It's great.

Only WoW when I still played, and now Counterstrike:source. Everything else is native.

I used Red Hat back when it was called Red Hat. 7, I think? I gave it a try as Fedora, too...
I had a Gentoo install for a few days. I'm thinking about giving it another shot soon. I've also used Knoppix and Slackware at different times in my life...
In my opinion, it's either a Debian based distro or Gentoo. I can't deal with Red Hat anymore, or any distro that doesn't have a package manager. Too much effort for no good reason.

I have a NetBSD disc lying around here somewhere. Other than MacOS X's BSD-compatibility-layer business, I haven't had much experience with BSDs.

Anyone ever use Xubuntu? Now posting from Xubuntu.  All hardware detected on startup. The toned down window manager is running very nicely on my low end laptop. I am very happy. Now to configure this baby to work on PittNet. |
