I want to use the computer, not have to waste my time compiling crap, figuring out dependencies, whatever. It recognized all of my hardware and was a breeze to set up. So far I've been able to do everything with it that I've need to as far as lamp development goes. Setting it up as a dev box is really easy too with apt-get. Basically you install apache2, php & mysql and it just works. Plus if you get stuck there's a ton of help with google search & ubuntu forums. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
