Ubuntu

Does anyone here use Ubuntu?

I used to, but it started to piss me off a bit. I'm currently running PCLinuxOS 2009.

I ran Ubuntu when I was in a Linux/Unix class for school. It was good but honestly I prefer Windows because it's so easy and most programs are written for Windows or Mac. I like to f* around in the shell though.

yeah i dual booted it for awhile. its alright but i dont recommend it for average home use. and if youre into gaming and all that.

NewKirk:
My husband runs Ubuntu and all the other flavors/versions of Unix/Linux..

i use ubuntu 8.04...i did upgrade, but then down graded so that i could use skype
very nice and easy to use...specially if you like to play around with different setups and stuff, and gaming is achievable using programs such as WINE and CrossOver...both of which ive had no problems playing games off

I recommend using ubuntu 9.04 with a custom kernel like 2.6.31-stable..
if you have an older system i'd go with xubuntu 9.04 w\a 2.4 kernel - it'll manage your hardware a ton better and have a lot less trouble with getting max performance out of the older HDD's.

Most people running generic kernels are not getting max performance out of their hardware.

I run Ubuntu 9.04 and dual boot with windows vista.

More importantly, What do you use Ubuntu for?? It's a brilliant Linux OS based on Debian so it makes it easy to install apps in the command-line like $apt-get install squid and so on..

One thing i like about Ubuntu is that probably the most easy to get the hang of after using windows. Installing apps with Synaptic makes it easy with point and click action.. with a downloaded List of apps, windows has never done that.

And best of all IT'S FREE

i run ubuntu on my home server and on my ps3 ;D my PC runs on centos

ive been dabbling with ubuntu 9.04. i use linux mint more, tho.
