RE: What's all the hype over Ubuntu?

[Arch Willingham <arch tuparks com>]

For the heck of it, this weekend, I installed their current beta on the laptop I was using for FC9. I don't see what the big deal is. It was nice to have it ask to install stuff (like flash) when it encounterd the need but I had the same issues with wireless that I have had with FC8/FC9. I had to end up using ndiswrapper to get it to work (Linksys WPC54GS). The only things I noted of real interest were: Firefox starts much faster than in either FC8 or FC9 and the update thingy hauls booty compared to YUM. Most annoying things were the weird colors and this stupid jungle sound that goes off any time you log in. Also, the whole "You can't get to root" thing is weird.

Just my two cents.

Frankly, I think distro hopping is a waste of time if you current
distro  meets your needs.
