Ubuntu is great as a desktop and as a development
Kevin,
Did you enter "linux26" at the boot: prompt? I suspect that some of
the modules (initrd) are not supported in the stock "linux" (which
uses Linux 2.4.27) vs. 2.6.8 when you give it the linux26 option, i.e.
you would want to run 2.6.8 to give you much broader hardware support
for you instal
entOS, or a lower priced alternative like Novell.

I'd guess that your controller/drive is SATA and that that version of
Debian doesn't do SATA.

Well, at your advice, I just tried to install Debian 3.1r2 (sarge I
believe). And I was not impressed. The install interface is chui,
which seems unnecessary, but I could overlook that. But when it
failed to detect that I have a hard disk in the computer, I had didn't
know how to overcome that.
One minor gripe about Kubuntu is that it doesn't, in its basic install,
load a lot of software. It didn't install things like ssh. That's either
good or bad depending on your perspective. My SUSE 10 distro installed
five text editors, six media players, three office suites and four
browsers. Yo
My son also had me abandon Fedora for Debian. He thought there were too many
problems with it being too bleeding edge for a critical server. Also, the
updating was not as nice predictable as for a Debian based distribution.

Mike,
Thanks for your reply. Yeah, there seems to be a lot of buzz around
Ubuntu. I tried it out as a VMWare Player machine and it seemd great
as a desktop. But it seemed to lack some of the features I was used
to with Red Hat 9, though this was probably due to limitations on my
part.

rpm stands for Redhat Package Manager. SUSE uses the same format and a
right click offers an install option. I abandoned Fedora 4 because of a
lot of problems, mostly hardware, and have found Kubuntu to be more user
friendly. Same KDE gui, but uses the debian package manager, apt seems
happier
