All three will successfully boot, although I had to tell suse to use root=/dev/OS/suse instead of /dev/mapper/OS-suse like the rest. It couldn't find it using the mapper address. Permissions seem to be working at this point. I can login & work in each distro without any permissions errors (so far). I am finding a few glitches though with my commonly used apps. gaim - each distro has a different version so this is tricky. I find fedora just plain crashes on load but the other two work fine. evolution - works fine in fedora & ubuntu. suse is using 2.6 vs the 2.8 in the other two. I would think suse would have the latest since they develop it, maybe that's what suse 10.2beta is all about.. firefox - ubuntu is the only distro so far with firefox 2 available. I don't see any issues so far between 2 & 1.5.07. I'm sure Fedora will get 2 soon, I don't know what to expect from Fedora. As expected I'm using Ubuntu more than the others. So far my impression is that suse is slooow and I'm not impressed. Fedora works well (I don't get the nice bootup splash though--did I miss something in grub?) Only thing that I can't get to work is the nm-applet for NetworkManager & alltray support in the notification area on Fedora. Also wireless is supported in Ubuntu & Fedora. I haven't tried in suse yet but I'm honestly not holding my breath. I'm sure I'll figure out a few more of the bugs as I go. Any other suggestions are appreciated. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
