Ubuntu 6.06 Is Current Desktop Linux Champ

I think everyone knows Ubuntu is champ already :) I got my CDs the other day
 
@squirrel: Are they shipping Kubuntu as well? How much was the tax and long did you have to wait?:D
 
Whilst it is undoubtably one of the best out there, I think the best linux desktop award would have to go to SLED 10

I ordered my Ubuntu cds a while ago - took a few weeks. Then the other day I ordered Kubuntu, arrived pretty quickly, about a week. No tax :D

I actually ordered Kubuntu. It took awhile, I think I ordered it when Ubuntu was announced, and I recieved it on the weekend. But there might have been even more delay then because of the demand
 
I couldn't get Dapper Drake to load. This is their first attempt at a graphical installer and it has caused quite a lot of problems for most people. I thought it might be a faulty image but I've tried a few versions. I loaded Breezy and had no problems at all. Maybe I need more memory?

I have a good free source of the latest original disks if anyone is in Cape Town.

BTW: The toasters in Cape Town are in quite a poor state at the moment. I hope Mark sorts that out.
 
Your telling me! A couple of months ago I could crash the toaster at UCT on demand!

That's a little odd. I've installed Dapper about 4 or 5 times already. This was purely for fun, since I love how Ubuntu installs in under 10min.

It certainly warms the heart knowing that you're running a popular distro with its roots in SA

The only finicky thing I've experienced was with audio codecs, where I haven't managed to enable MP3 playback despite all efforts. I suspect another reinstall may happen!
