Gentoo is the one I meant and let me appologize for this question.<BR/><BR/>The question about understanding English almost insulted me :-) but anyway. Let me ask you the last question.<BR/><BR/>Does Ubuntu (Debian) have some kind of upgrading software which handles dependencies (like apt or yum in Fedora)? <BR/><BR/>This feature is a "must have" for me since I am not so experienced to find all the library dependencies myself while installing whatever.<BR/><BR/>Thanks<BR/><BR/>-fsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6827917.post-1137064183494770742006-01-12T12:09:00.000+01:002006-01-12T12:09:00.000+01:00filipek: That's not true.

Ubuntu is basically Debian but I have distinct impression that more people are working on Ubuntu than Debian (or they are faster) - because Ubuntu has better hadrware drivers, more up-to-date packages etc... Anyway, if you have Ubuntu you can also use all Debian packages without problems (but not vice versa). Ubuntu is very reminiscent of the Windows' "it just works" philosophy. However, you still need to understand English (I THINK SuSe is better localized, if this is a factor for you).<BR/><BR/>I am perfectly happy with Ubuntu/Debian package system.<BR/><BR/>I am able to run Ubuntu with GUI on my 700Mhz 128MB RAM laptop.<BR/><BR/>Ubuntu uses GNOME with Metacity WM as a default but of course you can change this (and there is also "Kubuntu" version based on KDE).<BR/><BR/>The upgrading is without any problems whatsoever, the system just periodically tells you that there are new versions of software available and installs them after one click.<BR/><BR/>I cannot really compare Debian/Ubuntu with other CURRENT distributions because I didn't use any other distro for the last year or so.František Fukahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02816098670745133142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6827917.post-1137062373211364122006-01-12T11:39:00.000+01:002006-01-12T11:39:00.000+01:00I heard Ubuntu linux is meant to be compiled on th...I heard Ubuntu linux is meant to be compiled on the run to fit the actual configuration of your PC.
