Okay, out of curiosity, I downloaded Feisty Fawn yesterday and booted it to my laptop. I wanted to see what all the fuss over Ubuntu was, particularly since I've been using SUSE for the past two or so years.
Here's a screenshot on my laptop: http://www.perfectreign.com/files/images/20070423_ubuntu_feisty.png It booted okay, and recognized my hardware on both my laptop and desktop. To its credit, it even picked up my volume control buttons and my wireless NIC. Not bad. It was a little disconcerting at first, when I couldn't auto-attach to my router. However, I realized I don't broadcast my SSID. All was well, once I typed it in. Here's my honest take - I like SUSE better. Why? Well, it is more polished. I spent two minutes trying to figure out how to change my resolution on my screens and how to mount my hard drive. Neither task was intuitive. On SUSE both are very easy. SUSE adds a lot to the default KDE desktop that makes my life easier. In fact, I was just showing one of my senior programmers the difference between Ubunutu and SUSE with YaST. He agreed with me that YaST makes the difference. (I sent him off with a 10.2 live DVD.) Now, don't get me wrong - I'm not bashing Ubuntu - but to me, I'll stick with SUSE -- kai Free Compean and Ramos http://www.grassfire.org/142/petition.asp http://www.perfectreign.com/?q=node/46 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
