When I tried Ubuntu the first time I liked it right away. My first try with Linux was RH 7 because it was the one support by Dell. I always want to be curious where big a US company go because the US government have the greatest influence amongst nations and they also like to influence what is being sold to other countries. If a US company makes money then Uncle SAM makes money too with their taxes. di ba? Does the US have influence over our beloved bayan??? What is the progress of that law in congress about Open Source?? So when Dell announce it's support for Ubuntu I was very curious indeed and ask a lot of why why???? To answer my question I installed Edgy and I liked the apt-get to install things I forgot to install. Secondly everytime I Googled for a problem I would always get a straight to the point answer without asking PLUG. (To be honest it is only PLUG that let me stayed with Linux all this years just because I know I have the quickest best answer. Thank you from the bottom of my heart PLUG). Back to Ubuntu. Lastly I was amazed/surprised Ubuntu had a driver for the modem the lowly HP I was trying it on. I have no use for that winmodem but surprise it had a driver. Here is one thing that made me go back to Centos. Being from a RH background I was so stuck with vi. Having been a newbie to Linux forever I did not know how to us vi in Ubuntu. Well now I discovered nano will it worked in Ubuntu as in Centos/Fedora? If yes I can erase my Centos again. I also wondered what HP officially supports. Has somebody in the list ordered a HP server with a Linux distro. If HP would officially support Ubuntu then I will be sure Linux got No. 1 and 2 spot in distributing Linux to the world. Acer don't support Linux sorry nalang ang laptop ko.
One last note OpenSolaris is a late comer in the Open Source pero take note US origin siya? I hope Linux wins this OS battle kasi ayaw ko nang mag aral nang isang pang Unix. Kahit anong Zettabyte *File System* pa yan dala nang Solaris eh baka naman marketing lang yan katulad nang marinig nang una ibandera ang NTFS nong DOS 2.1 ang gamit ko. puwe.Opps baga nga maganda ma download nga yan OpenSolaris meron daw Ubuntu version yan Nexenta. Opps uli hindi muna pala kasi wala pang dtrace. David R. Meyer wrote: > All, > I am writing this because I am thoroughly confused by something. I have > tried Ubuntu each release since v5.
