As far as i can remember using debian based Linux (not so far, 2009) every single distro i have used "worked out of the box". There was once this exotic motherboard with funky new ethernet. But the next kernel fixed included it.... The switch from OSX/windows wasn't "easy", but it was much simpler than i anticipated. And the community is awesome, so exploring the possibilities and alternatives is a real pleasure. When you need assistance, you get to talk to humans. Not some stressed out, under-payed and coffee over-/under-kicked robot with a ticking time counter.
Ubuntu default (or whatever it should be called) is not that much of my tea cup either. Simply because I just can't live with the idea of having amazone built-in my machine. I recommend Xubuntu. If my dad can install and run it, so can most people. :) -- Set Hallstrom -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
