The latest versions of Debian and Ubuntu are out now. Ubuntu takes 1 CD, and Debian takes 3 DVDs. I know Ubuntu is Debian-based. I've been playing in the Centos/Redhat/Fedora world the past year or two, and am looking at reworking my system and see what Debian or Ubuntu have to offer. I used to use Debian regularly from about 2001 - 2005. Ubuntu is all over the place these days, but we almost never hear about Debian. What are people's thoughts on the respective distributions? I plan to use it as my primary home OS on a 64-bit AMD system, though I will likely go with the 32-bit version since some pieces, like flash for Firefox, isn't supported by Adobe yet under 64-bit (Adobe outright says this). Thanks for any feedback. If I get enough responses, I'll be glad to summarize. Scott -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
