I like Ubuntu Linux because it works right out of the box. It is small (One CD to start) and big (lots of supported packages). Regards, Xiaofan Ubuntu carves niche in Linux landscape http://news.com.com/Ubuntu+carves+niche+in+Linux+landscape/2100-7344_3-5886194.html News.context What's new: Launched less than two years ago, the Ubuntu project, an offshoot of the Debian operating system, has managed to build a new version of Linux and establish a following. Bottom line: Ubuntu has attracted programmers and users at a time when Linux powerhouses are trying hard to build their own involved communities. Ubuntu has drawn praise, but some in the Debian arena object to some of the project's choices. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
