I've been a user of FreeBSD and OpenBSD for quite a while now. Unfortunatl= y,=20 I haven't had much time to tinker lately, and that's unlikely to change in= =20 the near future. Sadly, I need to get an OS that my wife would be more=20 comfortable using and that wouldn't be as time-comsuming to make it more=20 comfortable for her. =20 I downloaded the uberyl live CD and found that ubuntu seems to pick up on=20 everything I have on the laptop (as well as all the attachments), so I'm=20 downloading it now. Because I've put so much time into getting this FreeBSD install where it is= =20 now (and because I favor the BSDs), I'm still a bit hesitant... Has anyone= =20 here had much experience with ubunu as a desktop? Negatives/positives? Kind of OT, I guess... I'd just rather hear it from someone in this group= =20 rather than the inevitable, "Oh yeah. You won't be sorry." from the ubuntu= =20 folk (salespitches =3D=3D fingernails on a chalkboard :) ). =20 Thanks, Mike PS. Yes, I've played with PC-BSD. Unfortunately, that's still more work t= han=20 I have time for. --nextPart5810379.5qpkH8Nznp Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBG2laQ+uHcSBTNvT0RAulCAJ9oNQ3bQDl+vxvqmFzsQsBIJwqehgCgjqCk 48Hj4m3VZv6o/Ob3ZweAd6g= =hBsX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart5810379.5qpkH8Nznp--
