ubuntu for me

Hi,

Although I use Ubuntu, RedHat and Debian at work, my all time favorite is still Slackware which I use at home. One more for Slackware.

Kind regards,

Eric

Then you should know by now that mixing Ubuntu packages into Debian is a bad idea.
Don't be surprised when it breaks.

I have the feeling that debian is falling behind too much in terms of package maintainance. Lots of broken packages which are not looked at and even more old packages
Any examples?,I use Testing/Unstable and can't say I've noticed any broken packages of late.
I'd say Squeeze is fairly stable right now.

but I still vote for Ubuntu (though I had 2 kernel updates last year, which made my notebook unbootable)
Funny as fsck!!.
And you still voted for it?.

break what ? You can just look into the package and if it puts something in the wrong place, don't install it.

Examples for broken packages I remember are musescore and shutter. Wine and compiz are prominent packages, which are jsut too old to be useful. But the list is longer.

I still prefer Debian on my desktop atm because of their rolling updates in testing/sid. But if you don't care about that, ubuntu is probably the better choice.

Salix, because Slackware rules and Salix just improves it further ;)
