Comments on: Ubuntu 6.06 - Dapper Drake http://blog.eop.org.uk/118-ubuntu-606-dapper-drake/ The flamboyant insights of a teenage web developer from England, UK.

Firefox seems especially snappier. I really like the new GNOME deskbar applet too. Gentoo is also a very nice distro, but it's a lot more work to setup. If you have the time and interest, it can be very informative - I did it once inside a QEMU virtual machine on my Ubuntu machine. Ubuntu is much more of a "turn-key" Linux.

But for customization and down-right command line geekery (a good thing) then Gentoo is probably the winner on that account. Server wasn't much good then. Hmm.

Ubuntu is too much of a hog to run as a server. Anyway, Ubuntu is 90% hype and 10% goodness, it may look nice but it really isn't that good at all, Gentoo is 1000 times better.
