Try Ubuntu Hoary instead, no thank youTry Ubuntu Hoary instead, no thank youPosted Mar 15, 2005 21:21 UTC (Tue) by euler2323 (guest, #28489)In reply to: Try Ubuntu Hoary instead by b7j0c Parent article: Announcing Fedora Core 4 test1
The installer in Ubuntu doesn't "just work". I tossed the cd after having it fail constently at the same point. I didn't care if it was a fixable situation or not, if it couldn't install on my pc as it was then I wasn't gonna give it a chance. I installed FC3 after w/o any issues and have been pleased with it.
Ubuntu is the only distro that I've tried personally in the last 8 years that has not worked rock solid.

which was?
Try Ubuntu Hoary instead, no thank you Posted Mar 15, 2005 21:40 UTC (Tue) by euler2323 (guest, #28489) [Link] You're not understanding what I said. The fact that it failed like that, was the reason the disk got tossed. When I have a couple dozen distros to choose from, why waste my time when the installer sucks?
I tried Ubuntu from many positive comments I read about it. But, I happened to not like it.
Also, you play up the fact that its based on Debian, why not just use Debian then? At least then I'd know that the distro has a future.

And you're not understanding what he asked. Could you share with us where it failed? Was it probing a sound card? Would it not recognize your hard drive? We're just curious. I've never used Ubuntu or Fedora but I'd like to get some feedback from other users, even if they are about problems, before I investigate further with a distro.

On my notebook (Toshiba Satellite, recent model) the Gnome 2.10 live CD
(Ubuntu based) hangs when recognizing IDE (lspci(8) tells me:
On another machine it boots fine, but boy takes it a looong time to do so... not too lively in my book.
