Back to the "roots"

And back again to Ubuntu. I don't know why, but I always come back to Ubuntu.

After 3 months on openSUSE I got once more a confirmation that RPM based distributions aren't for me. I just don't like them - or I'm way too spoiled with DEB based distributions.

So I switched to LMDE and fulfilled a long-time wish to install a rolling release Debian Testing. But unfortunately the testing has sometimes bugs, and it gave me from time to time the impression, that even if I love to live on the edge with my PC, I should stick with something more ... proven ... stable ... familiar.

So this time I chose PinguyOS, build on top of Linux Mint and Ubuntu with a heavy load of PPAs and much software pre-installed.

First thing I had to do was to deactivate some PPAs, de-install some Thunderbird plug-ins and ready I was.

I'm always coming back to Ubuntu, no matter how many other distributions I try out, nothing gives me as much satisfaction as an Ubuntu based one.

It's only too bad that the ElementaryOS release I'm waiting for will be based on the next LTS (12.04) release of Ubuntu. Don't get me wrong, it's a great idea to release a stable version, but the waiting sucks...

Until then I hope I will be wise enough to be patient and wait.
