I used to be an rpm-based distro kind of a guy. Tried from the early days RedHat, then Mandrake, then SuSE (for a long time), while fiddled a bit with Gentoo and even Linux From Scratch. But the first time I tried Ubuntu was the first time my webcam worked with Yahoo Messenger (via Gyach). I know it's a pretty lame reason but that's the catalyst. Then everything just works (well mostly, just like other major distros). But now I just got used to it so unless there's a very good reason for me to try another distro, I'm a happy camper with (K)ubuntu.
I could watch movies (even more out-of-the-box supported codecs with than Windows), chat, write software, browse, play games, create some graphics, etc... And if something goes wrong, just google "what's wrong feisty (ubuntu)". My two cents. Oh, and for the first time, upgrading from one version (Edgy) to a new one (Feisty) went VERY smoothly. :-) Cheers, Allister -- Dr. Allister Levi Sanchez ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) CNRS Postdoctoral Research Associate Laboratoire Leprince-Ringuet, École Polytechnique, 91128 Palaiseau CEDEX, France
