[SLUG] Ubuntu

[Stephen O'Neill]

"Ubuntu - Linux for Humans."

Sounds great. I was thinking to myself that in a few months I'll either 
completely reinstall the newly released Fedora or more likely that it's 
about time I tried something else.

Now I don't have time for faffing around so I don't mean different as in 
"Slackware", but I thought Ubuntu may be a nice stepping stone towards 
Debian.

Anyway, I use my machine for web development and a typical desktop - so 
it fits into the "Server" category because it has apache/mysql/ssh/print 
server etc but also the "Desktop" category because I like the pretty 
bells and whistles, office software etc.

When I go onto the Ubuntu site it wants me to choose between "Server" 
and "Desktop" editions. I'm thinking I'd need "Server" because of the 
apps, but then that distro is much smaller than "Desktop". Great.

One feature they're proud of in the "Server" product is that they have a 
single command for installing the web environment - great, but can I do 
that after installing the desktop version? No idea.

So great, and now I'm thinking I can't be bothered and maybe I should be 
going for a different distro or just sticking with what I know.
