From Fedora to Ubuntu
alrite.. what do I say ?? I was a fedora user till yesterday. With all the news and references around Ubuntu, I thought I'll try out Ubuntu for a while and get back to Fedora. So I downloaded Ubuntu ISO and booted the CD.. They have this concept called "live CD" where the OS runs from the CD without having to be installed. It was impressive. Ubuntu recognized most of the hardware except the wireless card. From the Live CD, a simple double click helped me install Ubuntu. The partition tool was really simple to use and the whole install process was really friendly with no complaining. So after booting up into the installed version, I had to get my wireless card working. With fedora, I used to configure my wireless card through ndiswrappper (an utility which uses windows wireless driver to enable wireless card in linux). With Ubuntu, there was a well documented post to install the firmware for my card and within minutes my wireless card was configured. The whole install process took less than 2 hours. I am not familiar with the debian family but Ubuntu seems really "out of the box". so far i am impressed with Ubuntu and might not turn back to Fedora :( :)
