this is What I use Laptop : kubuntu Works Out the Box ....... Synaptic is really great Dev WebServer/CVS : debian Stable 3.1 Debian got Gforge deb which otherwise has very tedious mannual installation Server : FreeBsd 5.4 (after removing RHES 3.1) Rock Solid as server , great ports collection Pankaj kaushal wrote: |Gaurav Mishra wrote: | |>using ubuntu since 4.10 and having ubuntu, kubuntu, edubuntu , |>ubuntu-server all 5.10 with me. but i wanted to see the real os from |>where the ubuntu started. | | |First off! learn how to quote. | |What is it that you want to do? IMHO, there is a very big difference |between Debian and Ubuntu and at the same time None at all. it depends |on how you look at it. | |Usability wise ubuntu is a thousand miles ahead of debian. Ubuntu is |more usable on the desktop. similarly, I wont be caught dead with a |ubuntu install on one of my webservers. | |On the Desktop: | |If you know whats going-on or if you dont care, e.g If you know how does |that pretty icon automatically comes on the desktop when you attach the |Digital Camera, or if you dont care, then it makes sense to use ubuntu. | |If you wish to know what all you need to do in-order to get a particular |version of the camera working, and are inclined to do it every single |time you need to use the camera, then I guess debian is for you. | |On the server: | |I have never used ubuntu on a server so I wont comment about that. But, |I have used debian on various kind of server settings, mail, web, |gateway. It rocks ... the ease of doing stuff and the quality of the |packages and package management system all shines. | |Coming to your orignal question, what debian to use? Like many other |questions this one also has one answer. It depends. | |It depends on various things, it depends on your hardware, it depends on |what exactly are you trying to do/run. If you just want to run a desktop |then sid (unstable) is the way to go. | | |P. - -- "Innovation is not absolutely necessary, but then neither is survival." - -- Andrew Papageorge -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDcx+ZVAO9KHA2KWcRAobbAJ923NsxF2pTJEdisYKvEweARZ7uBwCbBHEj mKdFbSX3UY/V9e/1coNMCT0= =fyTf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- DISCLAIMER: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This e-mail contains confidential and/or privileged information.
