Ubuntu just isnt doing it fo me anymore

[Bearded-flower]

I dont know but for some reason ubuntu just isnt doing it for me.
yes, ubuntu is nice and user friendly ( why should i bother with user friendly i do most stuff via command line anyway) but i just want to know what are some other good linux distros out there?
if you have any knowledge of other distros could you just tell me the pros and cons of each one?

If your competent enough then I would say give Arch a try. It is not user friendly at all but does give you far greater control over everything.

Are there restrictions on control in Ubuntu? For example is it possible to recompile your own Linux kernel or do you have to stick with the pre-compiled patches coming through apt-get?

+1 for Arch.

Also have a look here.

No im pretty sure you can compile your own kernels. Never done it myself though....

You don't say what "it" is, so it is impossible to give you advice on a distro that does "it" for you.

DistroWatch.com has an overview of many Linux distributions.

Ubuntu is free software, which means you have the freedom to do with it whatever you want. So ofcourse there are no such restrictions in Ubuntu.

Im thinking of fedora, or maybe debian
the reason for debian is the package manager (apt-get) system

Debian Lenny sounds like a sound side-grade - all the same features that form the basis of Ubuntu, but a far more methodical approach to upgrading that emphasises stability and backward compatibility.

Like apt-get in Ubuntu. So what is the difference?
What exactly is it you don't like in Ubuntu, can you be more specific?
