Lastly, my machine has Debian Testing and also Fedora Core 5. I mainly use Debian but tryout Fedore too. On a laptop at home, I have installed Ubuntu with Windows. Ubuntu just works better in the laptop than other distos. This depends on machine to machine of course.
I agree with you on this, i tried FC5, CentOS 4.4 and Ubuntu on my thinkpad T30, the three of them worked good, but it was easier to work and configure (Specially WiFi) on this order 1. ubuntu 2. CentOS with NetworManager 3. FC 5 (changed eth0 with eth1 constantly) with Ubuntu i needed no NetworkManager even working with encripted networks, and not have to use iwconfig :) as needed with FC5 or CentOS if you do not want to install NetworkManager on my desktop i saw that Ubuntu, FC5 and CentOS are the same :). on my web, squid, postfix, dns, etc. I use CentOS, maybe Debian could be another good option for a server. regards, Guillermo.
