[Cialug] Hi....

[Stephen Hawkins]

Todd,

I started out with Red Hat in the 90's,  I shifted to SuSE when Red Hat 
started shipping with so many things crippled.  And a few other changes they 
made that I found irritating.

Today I have both SuSE and Ubuntu.  Ubuntu seems to be better at finding 
drivers for older or odd hardware.   And they seem to be rapidly catching up 
in a lot of other areas.  I installed Ubuntu 7.04 the other day and installed 
the Nvidia 3d drivers.  This weekend I will get Beryl/Compiz working.

Ubuntu seems to be working hard at making life easier and less work, while at 
the same time not screwing up all of the things I like about Linux/Unix.

Just my 2 cents.

Steve
