Well done Mark and the team…

Mark I have to say, you did a great job with giving us all something we could work with, and build on, or strip out anything we don't need. Finally we got the linux system, and tools we need to carry us on into the future. Also, if people realized how stable, and secure linux was in general from the Microsoft systems out there that are infected all the time, they would see the light. Furthermore, I got the VMware Workstation 5.5 configured right, and that secure peer to peer www.filetopia.com works no problem.. we share alot of information on there, and we care about privacy. Thanks Again Mark, and Team :-) clint College Major: IT Systems Engineer, Hey Mark, & People of ubuntu;

Yesterday, I converted my Mandrake 10.1 partition to KUbuntu and had everything working in less than two hours (considering the complexity of my home network this is no mean feat!!!) I spent 45 mins on the installation and the rest of the time adding repositories and packages. I sincerely did not miss anything available in Mandrake, and in some cases, I found a better and varied selection of packages to choose from. By the way, almost all the package selections installed flawlessly (Java from Sun is a dog of a package)!!!! Also, HW that took me weeks to make it work at least decently with Mandrake took zero time to make it work under KUbuntu!!!! It's difficult to argue against a distro so complete and almost fault tolerant!!! Jusr a quick note to say THANKS to all involved.

The only problem (which is mentioned on launchpad.net) which could seriously give problems to corporations using Thinkpads is Docking Station support. Try to install Ubuntu on a Thinkpad then plug the Thinkpad into a docking station (not a port replicator) - Ubuntu will not boot because the primary boot device changes (hda to hde) with the current kernel 2.6.17-25 which wasn't a problem with Breezy (2.4.12). You will have to do some LABEL or UUID tricks in grub and fstab for it to work. Other than - excellent distribution - I had been using Slackware for years (since 1995) and after playing with Breezy, Ubuntu became my primary deskop operating system!! But watch out for TCPA as another user posted - it will kill OSS if it goes through - fight the TCPA! Quinn With my IBM Thinkpad T42p, dapper works a lot better now than Breezy.

I have been messing around with Linux ever since kernel version 1.2.3, but I'm happy to say that Linux is finally becoming something that an everyday person can use effectively.
