I have not tried Ununtu yet. How does it compare to Debian? That is the one I have been setting up here. I also have Red Hat and Suse. Did not care for Red Hat, have not gotten around to loading Suse yet. Starting to get too comfy with Debian, I guess.
I started playing with linuxes on an old P3-733 clunker doorstop. Surprise, it was not a clunker any more. I do have a few annoyances with network print sharing, but am pecking away at them.

Sigh.... Me neither. The "just works" Ubuntu won't recognize. It won't boot from disk, just skips it and boots windoze. Still working on the "just works."
It’s Ubuntu....and it is mostly using Debian....but it sure is a VERY Different install than Debian...I never really got that one to work...

Ubuntu IS a version of Debian, with a bit different upgrade schedule.
Debian is an outstanding OS, great for servers and high end desktop use. Ubuntu is derived from Debian, but FAR more user friendly, 'prettier', and geared toward desktop applications. You don't even have to install Ubuntu to your hard drive if you want to try it out. It can be run from the CD like other Linux 'live CDs'(knoppix,slax,backtrack), allowing you to check out the OS without altering your HD.
I really like Fedora. Of course, I've been running Red hat and Fedora since Red Hat 0.9 (I think--1994, anyway). Fedora 8 is probably the first Fedora distro I've had that works completely "out of the box". Sound, wireless, video, everything. I'm currently running it on a Dell Latitude D830 at 1920x1200.
