[KLUG Members] Distro Recommendations

[Mark Bystry]

automatix or easyubuntu is about all the tweaking that i do...ha.

i would like to add to this. i think ubuntu is a very nice distro. it feels weird to say that since 
i consider myself a "die-hard" suse user. i find myself installing and using ubuntu more than suse 
lately because ubuntu feels faster. i still recommend suse (opensuse) for a server but i recommend 
ubuntu for the desktop or laptop.

however, the new edgy eft (6.10) has some wireless problems. edgy no longer recognizes my netgear 
atheros wifi card but dapper (6.0) picks it up perfectly. oddly, i have about 5-6 wifi cards, all 
generic and every single one of those works on edgy. so if edgy doesn't work for you then try 
dropping back to dapper. you can't tell the difference between the two anyway...most is under the 
hood stuff.
