ubuntu linux
This is a discussion about ubuntu linux in the Everything Linux category; I've been testing a new distro called ubuntu linux it's based off of Debian and comes with gnome 2. 8, kernel 2. 6. 8. They have some interesting ideas in there. It's worth a look imo. It uses the debian installer and does an excellent job at hardware detection for the three systmes I've installed it on.

I even had my total newbie neighbor install it and it only took him 20 minutes everything was working and he's a windows user :gasp: just thought i'd share.

OP
I feels fast. I have it on a p3 500 w/ 768mb of ram. It is noticibly faster than the suse 9 install and it runs real nice on my friends laptop 300mhz 512 of ram.
