Ubuntu Linux Review

Posted by timothy on from the with-a-name-like-shuttleworth dept.

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." Update: 09/27 23:25 GMT by T : 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."

    I quoted the wrong line... this is what I meant to quote:

    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?

    I still say f that... keep it in userland...
