jspodisus Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 As an alternative operating system does anyone have opinions ? Or Debian ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seventheyejosh Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I love ubuntu. It is my first linux love and i'll be sticking with it for a while The software store is awesome and the updater is slick. Plus I only use it for web development, so Komodo+Remote Drive Plugin, Chrome+Dev Console, and Pidgen are all I really need. I have it running on a 1.86 single core with 2 gigs of ram and an 80gig sata, and it is really fast. Of course now that I finally got around to buying a power supply for my macbook, it may take a vacation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremywesselman Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I can recommend either. I started using Ubuntu as my main operating system a couple years ago. I recently switched my desktop from Gnome to KDE and I'm liking it. But still, I don't thing you can go wrong with either. Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 If I where going to use any of the *untu's it would be xubuntu, but that's just because I'm a xfce fan. I usually do a minimal Debian install and build everything myself from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has mentioned a requirement for digital tuner cards... Besides, you'd just throw in another hard drive. With regards to the original question - I've been using Ubuntu properly since 6.06 and I have no issues with it. I run it on almost all of my "desktop" machines, and all of my servers.
