I booted from the Ubuntu CD the other day and was very impressed. It got my wireless card right off. Back 6 months ago when I did a Debian install from the minimal cd, I had to recompile the kernel etc to get my card to work. Does anyone know if this has changed? I am thinking seriously of recommending Ubuntu as a starting point for new users. Comments on the advantages/disadvantages of this idea are encouraged. What is involved for a user to switch from Ubuntu to Debian? thanks, tom arnall -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
