Ubuntu Linux

Ubuntu Linux.

I tried using Ubuntu Linux briefly, a while back. It didn’t hit me. It seemed nice. I liked how it automatically detected my video/screen capability — which no other Distro could do properly. At the time, I was also looking at MEPIS, which had a graphical installer, KDE and the ability to partition and install from the live CD. That combination makes MEPIS almost ideal for showing off Linux to Windows users.

Later I found out that the Ubuntu team added XFLD/XFCE into their repository, and then I kept reading all the great reviews and posts of Ubuntu. So I decided it was time to take another look at it.
Once installed, I can add the XFCE to it by:
remove comments from apt sources in /etc/apt/source.list
# apt-get install xfce4
Then re-login, and GDM will alow you to choose it.

You can also do the same for KDE including the KUbuntu packages, by:
# apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
