Are you using Ubuntu now? I just grabbed it this weekend and loaded it
up on my desktop PC and I have to say, I REALLY like this Distro. Its
the first time I have rally given anything besides MDK a shot and I am
very impressed. Everything just seems to work unlike the sometimes hit
or miss issues with MDK. I am going to play for a couple more days but
I think I may be switching very soon, in fact I just posted my review
(First Look) in aolm and colm:

Message-ID: <Xns968A909B689FELouiscypherhellorg@140.99.99.130>

if you are interested.

I thought you mentioned switching and was wondering what you think so
far.

Hi Mate,
Yes I am interested. Excuse my ignorance, but I dont know what AOLM and
COLM are. Without a doubt the best distro so far, particularly for the
reasons you state, but also for

I would love to see the review!

Nice review, very frank. I got the impression you almost felt guilty
about switching distro's, dont! It's survival of the fittest/best. The
only way the consumer wins if all the bloated/broken/difficult distro's
get consigned to one side and one winner emerges (even if itself it
splits into different distro's). Ubuntu suits my needs, it removes the
need to trying to fix an OS on install and the fact that it found all my
hardware I thought was amazing. It was the first time EVER that I
managed to upgrade KDE (I dont like Gnome) just by typeing in a simple
command! KDE 3.4 (or whatever it is) is brilliant.

I might even log into my server again just to play with it more!

I do. I see it came across almost too well

I also could not believe that. I actually dont like Gnome either and
was surprised to find no mention of KDE on the HD after a full
install. But, as you said, a few words on the cli and BOOM, minutes
later running KDE. I was completely blown away. FWIW, I am getting
used to Gnome also. Check out gdesklets they give Gnom a whole new
look and feel. On my MDK box I run Fluxbox so this is all a big
change to me.
