I'll be interested in hearing how that goes. I had one weekend running |
| 13 |
Ubuntu and ended up running away as fast as I could. It wasn't that it |
| 14 |
was bad or didn't work, but that the management of it seemed so |
| 15 |
different from any distro I'd run before that I didn't want to deal |
| 16 |
with learning it. Let's see how that does for you. |

Again, remembering I didn't really give it much of a chance - I was |
| 19 |
running on a Power PC Mac Mini - two things that drove me mad were: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
1) The basic install didn't tell me what the root password was. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
2) All the management was done using sudo. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I couldn't get past the idea that if something went wrong that with no |
| 26 |
root password what was I supposed to do? Now, I was absolutely sure at |
| 27 |
the time there had to be a way to set that myself, maybe as simple as |
| 28 |
sudo passwd - root or something like that, but I decided it just |
| 29 |
wasn't for me and tossed the machine in the garage rather than deal |
| 30 |
with it! :-) |

Cheers, |
