I now have a VirtualBox on my Windows, and desktop linuces on that too. I have latest Debian, and latest Ubuntu Desktops. While I prefer Debian as my server systems, I definitely prefer Ubuntu as a Desktop. The Debian workstation has this font problem: it just does not like usable out of the box. Ubuntu looks great. Ubuntu, while a bit strange at first to me as a Debian user (it does not have root superuser, but this "sudo -i"), is great. I find myself booting the Ubuntu when I need Linux, the Debian I do not use. As a Linux beginner, I say: go Ubuntu. That way you get the Debian open system with acceptable user experience. -- http://www.iki.fi/jarif/ Tell the truth or trump--but get the trick. -- Mark Twain, "Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar"
