Better is a loaded word. Ubuntu is a Debian variant. They have different packaging rules and configurations, but they start with the base Debian system. Debian on Z has been available (and still runs on z800/900 systems) for almost 8 years now, and commercial support has been available for about 6. >I just > prefer to run the same distro across my devices... and Ubuntu was the first > desktop distro that worked out of the box on my laptop and desktop.

I like Ubuntu/Debian better as well; you can actually upgrade a whole system in place using apt-get and have some reasonable confidence that the system will actually boot and work properly afterwards. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
