Question #78334 on Ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78334
actionparsnip proposed the following answer: I'd say 'better is hugely speculative. For exxmple my fileserver runs Gentoo, it is a P2 333Mhz with 64Mb RAM, Ubuntu is not going to run massively well on here (well, one with a desktop) and the Gentoo install has ran for 3 and a bit years without reboot. In this case Gentoo is the best choice for me and wil be until the system chokes, it runs a backup every 6 hours to a firewire hard drive so I couldnt care less if it does. The fact is an OS is a tool for a job so there is no single "best". Otherwise we would all use it wouldnt we. You could also try alternatives to Ubuntu like Knoppix / DSL or puppy that boot well of live CD.Ryanehill, you should check every ISO using MD5, You should also check every CD you get from shippit and every CD you burn for Ubuntu using the CD checker. A bad CD will give a bad install experience. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
