Now I have a blog site: http://360.yahoo.com/prmanalastas.
In my first blog entry of March 22, 2007, I mentioned: "Ubuntu LTS 6.06.1 is easy to install and is ideal for the beginner. Ubuntu is highly recommended for ALL Linux users. It has OpenOffice and Gimp and is ideal for day-to-day office and school use. However, for the programmer (I like to think that I am one), Ubuntu does not give you the option of installing a "complete" development package that allows you to do C, C++, Java, gtk+, etc programming. Fedora 6 does this for you just by clicking on the "development" option during installation. For Ubuntu, you discover (one-by-one and painfully) each of the development utilities (gcc, binutils, kernel headers, glibc headers, sun-java, etc) as you find the need for it, and install each one when discovered, and the dependencies for each one, when discovered. On my office desktop PC I use Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS, but on my Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop, I use Fedora 6. Please note that I am not trying to start a distro war here. I am just stating the reasons for my distro preferences." [Sorry, this is a second attempt to post; first attempt did not succeed]
