Drapper Drake Part II

We’ll, I’ve had Ubuntu 6.06 Drapper Drake running on my box for the last couple of days and all I can say is WOW! Now this is what Linux should be. It looks clean, it installs/upgrades clean, packages are easy to install/remove, and it just works. The documentation for Ubuntu is second only to Gentoo’s Wiki and there are a ton of people ready to help if you get stuck. It gets better too. I now have XGL up and running on my box, talk about eye candy. I know that Macs have had a lot of these features for a while now but this is just cool! In all honesty I think I might have just found the long lost Linux distrobution. You know, the one that works for me not works me.

    I haven’t tried XGL yet, but maybe I should…
