Re: [PLUG] I'm Convinced To Try Ubuntu
|
Excellent idea, Jeff! With all of the recommendations to not
evaluate performance from live-CD versions, I thought I would have
to install every distro I wanted to try. Now that I have processed
most of what the group has offered, your simple suggestion made
me realize that I can at least get a first-hand look at the distros to
determine which I might like to install.
Thanks for the welcome, too.
