  1. Re:What's with all the Ubuntu stories? by Gaima · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It's not as if Ubuntu is some major step forward, or different in such a way as to make it especially news worthy.
    Don't get me wrong, it's great it's free free, and that they'll send you a free CD, or so it says.
    A formalised "Code of Conduct" sounds a good idea, but is that any different from the social contracts other distros have formalised?
    The LDFLAGS they set which is the basis for the excellent start up times is a neat trick, and certainly unique in my limited experience of binary based distros, but if it's so great someone else will copy it.
    How is another debian based distro going to change the face of GNU/Linux?

    Perhaps I'm slightly biased, as a die-hard Gentoo user, I just don't get the point.
    p.s. most of my apps now start as fast as lightning, thanks Ubuntu :)
