Ubuntu

If you made six mistakes in the word “Debian”, it’s “Ubuntu” (in the finest sense). ;-)

I’ve deleted Windows and installed Ubuntu(Hoary Hedgehog today. Just want to see “what is this?”. I want to try new versions of programs oother than Debian Sarge has and look at another GNU/Linux distribution.

I wonder why some programs (gdm, for example) write logs(!) in russian! It’s silly :-/. The text console has “squares” instead of cyrillic letters. Hm, maybe somebody removed that features in “Dapper Drake”?

Anyway, I like Ubuntu very much. Easy debian-installer-based installation, well-known dpkg package system, Unicode, you can change many settings by GUI-based configurators also, etc; It’s a very interesting GNU/Linux distribution for at home. And I installed some fonts from my Debian system without any problems.

So, I really suggest you to try it, even if you’re using another GNU/Linux-distribution.

You can order free CDs with Ubuntu, (gnome-based), Kubuntu, (KDE-based) and Edubuntu, (for education). Just see these websites:

But I see how some russian idiots are ordering a lot of Ubuntu disks and make a “wall from disks”, “ceiling from disks” or something like that. “It’s free, so I must get a lot of it”. Only lobotomy can help them. I think you are more smart when you give your CDs to someone else, if you find Ubuntu not suitable for you.

I’ve ordered “Dapper Drake” Ubuntu and Kubuntu free CDs some days ago. Let’s wait ;-)
