Nope, I'm happy with fedora ....quite accustomed to it now. Freedom is what I needed, but I don't like to spend time in experimenting with distros. Rather its programming and watching movies,streaming clips etc and these days a little gimp too. :razz:

Neways read this *www.potentialtech.com/wmoran/source.php
U'll find plenty like this.

I am using Feisty from Alpha (herd 5).the main things i found are faster boot(ubuntu uses upstart replacing sysVinit);GNOME-2.18,u can eject from cd/dvd drive tray button(in case if u dont know);thx to gnome-mount;gnome-vfs thus without the hassles of umount.now there is a restricted drivers manager good for wireless card users,nvidia,ati gfx support etc.also is update-manager.though the major disappointment is no new theme.

A good review of feisty @ osnews

Every next Linux OS is better than the previous one technogically and equipped with latest packages with more functionalities, latest kernel giving more hardware support, improved customization, more eye candy, may include technogically advanced latest file systems too..etc. Atleast thats what I have observed.....haven't read their brochures though! ;)

If ur comfortable with Ubuntu 6.10 then stick with it, there's no need to upgrade. Likewise I'm comfortable with fedora 5 and haven't upgraded the distro/updated the packages since then. But yea I'll ofcors go for latest tech. when I buy a new PC, why even bother and waste my time in installing when I'm comfortable with my existing and perfectly working fine distro?

So u see thats the biggest advantage of linux. On old hardware u can put some older distro. But then older kernel doesn't mean weak kernel. Its open source remember that, that it has been tested by millions/billions across the globe with different hardware/platform. Older kernel basically means weak hardware support. So u can put old Linux OS, and can compile the latest software to give u the optimization, as they say the software compiled on ur platform works/runs the best. :cool:

Me now writing from the Ubuntu 7.04 Live session.....

Ubuntu 7.04 come default with Network Manger Installed.....It is blocking my Internet Access,It also block my modem (Huawei MT882) admin page.
After disabling this I able to come here. though I am wired network via hub and using my modem as 'Router mode' to access Internet and actually don't need any Network Manger, But I want to keep it and run it....

Is there any one facing this kind of problem ?

Mmmm, I got the same router you say. No problems at all. Maybe you can try installing it and seeing? Doesnt take a lot of time, just around 17 minutes here.

Code: 
apt-get remove --purge network-manager network-manager-gnome

I can't download it. The PPC version is apparently not downloadable from any server. What's up with that?

andy tried torrents? Torrents should be faster these days due to higher number of people downloading ubuntu, whereas direct download will be slower due to the same reason.

@mail2and: Ubuntu PPC is not officially supported anymore, hence no official ISOs. You can get them from Beta ports section though
*cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/7.04/beta/

@others: Those who wish to see new changes in 7.04 should visit "Ubuntu Feature Tour" section
*www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/704tour

@gx: If you have a processor supporting Virtualization Technology then you should certainly upgrade to Ubuntu 7.04.
