Excellent product, installation was painless and rapid.
Oh by the way, the installation was only 1 disk meanwhile the Fedora folks are gearing up for an *even larger* CD set for FC4 (!). This is why I dropped Fedora, no discipline in picking the packages in the default distribution.
Ubuntu *just works* as others have said. I won't be moving distros again.

The number of install CDs Posted Mar 18, 2005 16:53 UTC (Fri) by scripter (subscriber, #2654) [Link] Having to swap CDs is a pain, but I'd much rather do that than download all of the extra packages I typically want. But most of my machines have DVD drives now, so I don't have to swap CDs when I install RedHat/Fedora. I don't think the number of install CDs it the real motivation for most people to switch distributions.
Anyway, I've been trying Ubuntu for about a week now, and like it better than SUSE, but I'm still much more familiar with the RH way of doing things. I've used apt-get for RH for years, so that part of the transition to Ubuntu has been easy.
Is there a guide somewhere that will help me transition my RPM knowledge into debian package management knowledge? For example, how do I do the following things?
rpm -qif /usr/bin/someprogram

dpkg -S /usr/bin/someprogram # rpm -qif /usr/bin/someprogram
