Re: Introduction
Hi all,
I know that I am entering this discussion somewhat late, but I wanted
to provide my two cents.
In my house there is currently:
-4 Debian Etch servers
-An Ubuntu Dapper desktop
-An Ubuntu Edgy laptop
-A Windows desktop
-An MS-DOS web server (yes, you read that right!)
We can ignore the last two, since they are non-Linux. As for the Linux ones:
I started off with Debian. It was a great system, but it had some
problems, especially on laptops. The two biggest problems I found were
lack of ACPI (no hibernation or sleep) and lack of wireless support.
After installing Ubuntu, both of these problems were fixed.
Ubuntu also seems to be easier to use because it has more GUI
frontends to programs. In general, I think that for people who either
do not know how or do not want to deal with configuring (often
non-standard) hardware, Ubuntu is a better choice. However, for
sysadmins, especially on servers, Debian has always proven to me that
it is *much* better.
Again, just my two cents.
