This is a lappie.
What am I giving up by punting on Ubuntu?

Personnaly, I hate Ubuntu.
As Linux user, my favorites distributions are those:
- Centos (Redhat Enterprise Linux Free)
- Debian
As Centos is RHEL, everything is working fine, it does not have the
latest technology as other distributions but it is really stable. And
updating works!
Debian is
I don't hate Ubuntu.
Ubuntu has served extremely well, breathing life into a few extremely low-spec
Pentium IIIs in my EFL school. Those computers have been running Ubuntu 5.10
since that distro was released; no crash, no smash, and always does what it is
meant to do.

Sorry, Richard, I was just trying to help you get around it.
There are other issues as well. For example, in a clean 8.1 install,
I have HPLIP (a sophisticated manager for HP printers). I decided to
uninstall it to try something, except when it uninstalled, it took all
my network services with
Trying to get the responses all in one:
1) I really hate Solaris, period. I hate it on our Sun boxes, too.
Maybe that's because the commands seem very clunky compared to HP-UX.

Talking about reinventing the wheel . . . I tried to install Ubuntu 8.10
on a Pentium 4, 1.7 GHz, 256 RAM and got the black screen of death:
subsequently found out 2 things:
1. This is an all-too-common problem.
2. Ubuntu have not responded to all the piles and piles of moans
about this fact.
I'm a Hardy-Intrepid survivor, so here goes
As someone who has gone through a variety of issues with a Hardy to
Intrepid upgrade (I started a thread on the Ubuntuforums about it),
the most common problem is with unused package uninstalls. If toward
the end of the Intrepid upgrade you answer yes
Something that I also tried that doesn't work as well is putting /boot
in it's own partition. After fiddling and fighting with it, what I
really wanted to do, and finally settled on doing, was putting GRUB in
it's own partition, and letting each distro have its own /boot
