Anyway I think it's my last attempt at ubuntu as I get tired of it, if think it's great to begin with but now I want something a bit more... well... stable and smaller. Something I can have easy control. So which ones would you suggest for reasonable tweaking, easily maintanable, with good hardware support (as I'm using a laptop) and fun to use for people who don't care about which OS they're using (meaning a cool and friendly desktop with the regular apps that one can use on other OS) ?
I been using debian for ages, switched to ubuntu for the 6 month release cycle and the benefits of beeing in the mainstream. Unfortunately the later version made me long for something else. The unity/gnome3 thing + the rumor that ubuntu was planning on abandoning their 6month release cycle and switch to rolling release was too much for me and I installed arch (after recommendations from this list).
I've been very happy with it, it's small, stable, has a rolling release (I'd prefer a 6month release cycle, but it works quite well, nothing has been really broken (not more than with a fresh unbuntu install) since. It's a a bit hand-held during the install, but that's something you only do once.
I'm sure you'll get a ton of recommendations, so good luck with choosing :-) -- Atte http://atte.dk http://modlys.dk _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
