Star Ubuntu: could do with a bit more work
Linked by Neil Lucock on Tue 22nd Feb 2005 22:17 UTC
Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu I'd better start by admitting that I'm a fan of KDE. It's not because it works like Windows, but for the quality of the tools available. However, a GUI is just a way of doing something and I think I've been a bit dismissive of the Gnome desktop up to now. I read a few reviews of Ubuntu, looked at their web site and decided to have a look. I wanted a general purpose (desktop) distribution and an opportunity to get to know the Gnome utilities.

I tried Ubuntu on three PCs. It wouldn't boot on any of them. Knoppix just worked.

No, I'd never used either of them before. Just wanted to test a Live Linux CD.

Ubuntu would show the funky logo splash screen then fill the monitor with some hdb error.
