I am also long time user of Ubuntu. But I have also tried various other distributions. Among all the basic installation of software (like installing/uninstalling) is different distro wise. All distro have their own package manager (Debian/Ubuntu - apt-get, Redhat- yum, Archlinux - pacman etc). But there are always alternatives so you can try for newer package manager like you can try yum for ubuntu (for rpm packages) as well.
I work as web developer and Ubuntu has served me very well so far. I have the flexibility in my work and have configured my system to my needs. Regarding stable distributions, Ubuntu with LTS (Long term Support) are considered to be most stable and gets the support for longer time. Support means updates/bug fixes etc. Ubuntu releases new version in every six months so unless you are not sure. I would recommend to be with LTS version as it gets more updates then others. Please correct me if I am wrong. Hope this information helps. -- With best regards, Samundra Shrestha -- FOSS Nepal mailing list: [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/foss-nepal To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] Mailing List Guidelines: http://wiki.fossnepal.org/index.php?title=Mailing_List_Guidelines Community website: http://www.fossnepal.org/
