- japhyr 13y agoI learned Linux through Ubuntu, and I'm thinking of trying Debian. I want my daily desktop work to be on a distro that has a good parallel server distro. I don't administer servers every day, so it really helps if I can use a server that is closely tied with my laptop's distro.
- relaxitup 13y agoUbuntu hath not a good parallel server distro? It's quite suitable imo.
- japhyr 13y agoLate reply, but just saw your response. I use ubuntu servers whenever I need to set up a server. I meant that if I move to a different distro on my desktop, I want to use a distro that also has a server version.
- MatthewPhillips 13y agoSame here, except I left Arch after getting tired of it breaking on upgrades all the time.
- hdra 13y agoHow easy it is to install non-free packages in Debian? I myself have been considering to switch to Debian, the only thing holding me back is Debian's policy on not including packages that don't meet their requirement as "Free Software" in their official repository.
- supergauntlet 13y agoYou edit one file, uncomment the non-free repos, and do apt-get update. That's it.
- Peaker 13y agoI tried going back to Debian as well. I'm having serious slowness issues in my windowing environment (hardware acceleration is enabled). e.g: Opening large windows takes almost a full second. Ubuntu was snappier on the same machine, but I couldn't bear Unity :-(
