I used Ubuntu for about three days. The vim editor was a piece of crap. Every time I used the arrow keys it gave me A,B,C, or D. When I searched the web I found many sources that said install vim-full because apparently Ubuntu is lame enough to install vim-tiny instead. Just when i thought I found the solution I tried the vim-full install but my computer stated that I could not install vim-full because vim-tiny was installed. I also didn't like the default permissions in Ubuntu and prefer the slight challenge of Fedora 6. Overall, the contributors of the Fedora project are doing something right and I will continue to use their collaborative effort on my machines.

Actually, it’s funny. I used to joke that it would be time to stop flying when I saw a BSOD on one of my jet’s displays. (F-15E) Well, I haven’t seen a BSOD, so still good to go, but computer problems are not rare! Performing a “soft CC reset”, followed by a “hard CC reset”, and maybe an MPDP/AIU reset is not uncommon. “Turn it off, then back on” is a pretty standard way to fix things.

Yes, but does your F16 run linux?

Another word for me is “overextended.”

I don’t play guitar. But, I do play banjo. And no, I can’t play “Dueling Banjos” from Deliverance.

Man scrape, is there anything you *don’t* do? Fly jets, install linux… It’s not fair I tell you.

Ubuntu is rather nice, I must say. I used Debian from 1998 until late last year, when I switched over to Ubuntu (Xubuntu specifically). The “root-less” administration is a great feature IMHO!

I use Debian on my server, and prefer something newer on the desktop. Keeping this system up to date is actually rather easy, which is more than I can say about the previous releases.

Dear god, I can’t believe you Redhat people actually go through such nonsense with every upgrade! It’s quite silly you know. If you’re too afraid to use Debian, at least run Ubuntu for a few weeks and you’ll realise what you’ve been missing!
