Please install! by Alibloke · 2005-04-08 01:36 · Score: 5, Interesting

Ubuntu Linux is the best distribution I have ever installed. The guy behind this (I forget his name) has invested a small fortune, and I am sure it will become one of the top distributions very soon.

I emplore all Slashdotters to at least have a brief look at Hoary. It really is the "Mutts nuts"!
Gnome 2.10? by Futaba-chan · 2005-04-08 01:40 · Score: 5, Interesting

It's interesting that Ubuntu, a binary distro based on slow old Debian, has Gnome stable on 2.10.1, while we bleeding-edge Gentoo users are still on 2.8....
