well, as a plain deskop install, i haven't had any problems with ubuntu. at all. i've had problems with fedora, that thing is really a pain to use.

i mainly use centos on servers, but for the desktop, i'm pretty happy with ubuntu at the moment. probably the main thing that i like is that its deb, not rpm. rpms based systems can become a hassle with several repositories.. and upgrading between versions - i'm not going to even go into that.

I'm still comfortably on CentOS 4X. I might nuke an Ubuntu Desktop I have on VMWare and put CentOS 5X but I don't want to get my fingers burnt using Fedora 10 to see how CentOS 6 "might" look like.

My brief foray into Ubuntu was not good at all, I just wanted to see what the hype was all about. 10,000 noobs on their forum and a gazillion questions are unanswered. To think people on the Debian list get told to install Ubuntu if they can't handle tha real thang!

Thanks, Josh.
