infundibulum

I’ve been a Redhat/Fedora guy for… well… years. I started with Redhat 5 or something like that.

But recently I decided to try Ubuntu, just for the heck of it, and I’m glad I did.

I’m a Linux guy, but I won’t deny that there are still issues with Linux from an everyday kind of perspective. Some things that have never worked well for me:

1. Sound.
2. Dealing with an iPod.
3. Hibernating.
4. Package management.
5. Default UTF-8/Unicode support all over the place.

Ubuntu is beating Fedora on all of these accounts, so far. Hibernation works! That’s never worked for me, ever. Of course, I’m not up to date on my Fedora installation so maybe it’s equally good there nowadays.

But I have to say, I’m so happy with the Ubuntu install on my laptop that I’m thinking of installing Ubuntu over the Fedora install on my desktop as well.
