Hi, I use ubuntu too, and I like it. It works pretty much the same way (APT and .deb-packages) with the same software (synaptic, aptitude). Ubuntu uses the GNOME desktop environment, but you can install other environments as well. I don't notice anything particular being totally different in use than in Debian. If you want to mess around without messing up your system, Ubuntu provides a live CD. Philippe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
