The local Linux friends who thought I should move on from Ubuntu suggested testing as the closest in the Debian world to the Ubuntu way of doing things. After today I am thinking they were wrong. I need advice.
HiyaFor anything else .... use Debian, or FreeBSD for that that matter :), but for Desktop use Ubuntu (or even the new Fedora / Mandriva). Im of the opinion, your friends are ill advising you.
As I type this email, Im using Ubuntu Karmic on my Dell XPS, and I think its great. At my work Im run Debian Testing as my workstation, other than a few compiz issues when compiz segfaults, its ok.
For servers, and and I manage quite a few, Lenny is great for servers... but old for Desktop.
