Hi Everyone,
There's a lot of talk around the Linux camp about Ubuntu: why? I've read
some reviews about it and a few snippets here and there of users
opinions on it, but I still don't get it.
Short of installing Ubuntu myself, can anyone give me a quick run down
on why Ubuntu is apparently rising like a rocket? Any big differences
between Ubuntu and Fedora, besides the fact that Ubuntu is based on
bleeding-edge Debian?
Ubuntu is backed by Canonical, which will make it a distro that can rely
on the resources of Mark Shuttleworth, astronaut and millionaire. Its
base is debian but it has a very easy installation tool which makes it
particularly easy to use. It also has a particularly strong set of
drivers so much of the hard work of configuring and running linux is
already done.
