I am no geek. I didn't even do good in the geek test sent to me by one of my ex-colleagues. But I do have a bad habit of inserting strange CDs in the drive to install strange apps. One such CD I found was of Ubuntu - A new linux flavor in town. I had heard about it before when one my friends cousins' praised it. Not bad I tell you. Booted my Toshiba Tecra with a live CD and its good. 1. It recognized all my hardware devices, my video driver and also the network. I had some issues with the network configuration with my Suse which I run on my laptop, but no problems with Ubuntu. Full marks! 2. Even with a CD the speed is not too bad. 3. I tried to listen some music from the shoutcast.com which failed to start in its' rhythmbox. Installed Realplayer but it just hangs with no UI. Zero marks! 4. Attached my digital camera and boom it recognized it and imported all the pictures. Good stuff! 5. Java is not preinstalled - bad. Got jdk1.5.0 installed with no problems. 6. Installed the tomcat 5.x and I am live on the web. 7. And did I mention it is the best named linux flavor?Overall I do give it a pretty decent marks.
