Ubuntu has more automated processes whereas in Debian you got to do some things manually. I have used Sarge and Etch testing. In Debian if you put in a usb pen drive, it loads it but has to be accessed in a browser by entering its path. In Ubuntu it shows a nice icon on the desktop that you can double click. There are more examples but I can't recollect them
I beg to differ on this. I'm using Debian and my Sony Ericsson phone is automatically detected and even the pretty icon appears on the desktop. Don't know what you've done differently. Might I add that I've made a conscious effort in the past 2 years not to touch config files for stuff I believe should Just Work, so all credit to the Debian team for this. The auto-mounting and the pretty icon are thanks to HAL and Debians had it since quite some time now.
all. Debian is excellent for console. Ubuntu for GUI. I don't want to comment on Etch testing's gui. :P
Do I need to add some pretty screenshots of my Etch GUI to convince you otherwise? Or perhaps you mean that the default UI (theme, wallpaper, etc) are not cool enough, is it? -- Siddhesh Poyarekar This document validates as Plain Text -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
