[Malvern] Ubuntu CDs update

[ian.pascoe at bt.com]

I think we are missing the point here - until we try this "new" distro
we won't know if it is any better / worse or what the variations are
between it and it's parentage.

For those of us who have been in the Linnux camp for some time a round
up of those distros that have been tried and their potential uses would
be of interest - ie which would be used for a domestic set up single PC
and which has the best networking facilities for home use etc etc.

This is probably a stupid question from someone who is new to this game
but as Linnux is modular can you transport one module from one distro
into another thereby getting the best of both worlds?

This has been the problem I've had with Ubuntu, what's the point?  Why's
it any better?
