tried different versions of ubuntu. previously i was running ubuntu 7.10, which i loved. the easy to use interface and well selected packages. i will surely install ubuntu 8.04 when final version will be out.
then i tried fluxbuntu 7.10: having feedback from this forum that it is lightweight version of ubuntu i tried it. it was different from ubuntu's official derivatives and hard to get used to. i was not comfortable on fluxbuntu. most of the default packages were related to programming. i think it is good for expert linux users.
then i tried kubuntu 8.04 : it has very glossy looks and seems to be inspired from windows. least command line work was required in it (only for configuring tvtuner card). but some packages like games and gimp was missing in default package selection. i think it is good for new linux users shifting from windows.
and now xubuntu 8.04 : it is again similar to ubuntu. some features are missing (like: print screen key not working). as it is lightweight compared to ubuntu, i think it is good for new linux users having old harware..
in all the versions i have used internet using pppconfig (in kubuntu there was gui tool for it) and tvtime for tuner card.
waiting for ubuntu 8.04 final version
