AIXπ

It was time again, after ~1,5 years of running Win XP my current home PC setup slowed down more and more heading for the re-install doomsday. But this time I decided to go for Linux instead. I’ve tested various distributions over the years and worked with both SLES and RHEL in my professional life. The distro’s in the loop for the definitive decision were:

I have some kind of SuSE/KDE legacy from earlier Linux experiences mostly with SuSE Linux so I thought I’ll go with openSUSE and KDE. Then I got stuck with the usable package handling/updating functionality within Ubuntu/Debian but was still keen on KDE so i installed Kubuntu 7.10. But why is it so hard to get the cube desktop features and other eye-candies to work in Kubuntu? I just didn’t like to hack any more stuff and was tired of reading the support forums so I decided to go for Ubuntu & Gnome finally. Everything worked as suspected including all the fantastic eye-candies.

More on this to come…
