Ubuntu Linux Review
JimLynch writes "Pardon me while I pimp one of my own stories. We've got a review of Ubuntu Linux up on ExtremeTech. Check it out. Overall we had quite a positive experience with it, we think it's going to be a good distro as it matures. If you're looking for an easy-to-install debian distro, give it a download."

Eugenia writes with another review from USALug, and a 6-page comprehensive Ubuntu preview at OSNews, writing "Gnome's & Ubuntu's release manager Jeff Waugh also had an interesting interview detailing lots of interesting tidbits. The final version of Ubuntu is expected mid-October."
Something tells me that this is going to be the most widely used distro in Nigeria. Just a hunch.
Pardon me while I pimp one of my own stories
Only if you pardon me for not taking you seriously for talking like an idiot. Seriously, in five years, is this what you want to look back and think of yourself? That you used words like 'pimp' in reference to some lame-ass Linux review you wrote? Why don't you study something serious and engage in revelant debate instead of wasting your time?
New Linux user... it didn't find my sound card. I have no idea how to figure out where to start on that one, so... no sound. Also, the application installer thingy was pretty lacking. It kind of worked. It didn't find the latest versions of lots of various things, and the list was very short, but it kinda' worked. Other than that, it looked and acted like every other Linux distro that I've tried (I've tried about 6 in the past few months... I'm back to Windows). It worked for the most part, but nothing to get excited about. It did the basics. Unfortunately, it was still useless to my business. Bummer.
I don't respond to AC's.
I was impressed by the clean install (just the basics, not even gcc - although that is one "apt-get" away). This whole distro comes on 1 CD, which is a refreshing change from the bloatware Fedora-like distros that are so mainstream now.
Anyway, it installed like a champion and has the very latest stuff - it was released with the new Gnome just hours after the new Gnome itself. Anyway, I'm glad it has Gnome because we all know KDE is made by U.S.-hating Nazis who are so blinded by their hatred of anything American.
Man, you linux users are STUPID!
So I quoted the wrong line... here.. I'll post the line here..
If your looking to say, run an ftp server, wouldn't it be nice to get a distro that has an ftp server built in to the kernel?
Happy? and FU for calling me a troll.
"It's not like your minds are as open as the source you love..." - Me to the majority of Slashdot.
Ubuntu? Why not just call it Ni88er Linux?
Fuck you, you stupid liar. You yourself admit that the packages sometimes break. That's what incompatible means, despite your denial. It will break more as time goes on. And you will be just as stupid.

Shut the fuck up you fucking fuck kiddie Gentoy wannabe. Go compile KDE for the 1e65th time and leave the grownups to talk about important stuff. I'm sure you're needed on an IRC channel somewhere to help a newbie fuck up his CFLAGS. JUST FUCK OFF ALREADY, NOBODY CARES ABOUT GENTOY AND THE COCK GOBLING FUCKS THAT USE IT.
