    What Linux Distro were you using before Ubuntu?

    I think we all are wondering where the new Ubuntu users are coming from!
    If I forgot your "previous" Distro, vote for it by posting a message!

    I came along the lines of Slackware->Gentoo->Arch->Ubuntu.

    I still have my Arch machines but really like Ubuntu and have been recommending it to my friends.

    Was using Gentoo on this machine, and still have it installed on a few others, though I'm considering a complete switch-over.

    Re: What Linux Distro were you using before Ubuntu?

    Hi Everyone! I am new to this board...

    I just wanted to say that I will be trying out Ubuntu soon! I've heard a lot of good things about it and the fact that they use the Gnome desktop by default is Fabulous!!

    I have used MANY distros though the most recent ones have been Xandros and Fedora all the way to Mepis.

    I can see why a lot of people would be coming from Gentoo... User-friendliness is the majority vote these days along with the idea of being a very multi-media friendly distro. Now, I know Ubuntu isn't all that up on multi-media like Mepis is... but I hope they catch up to Mepis soon as I would rather run the Gnome desktop! I could always load the Gnome desktop into Mepis but I'd really rather have the OS built around the Gnome enviroment... than install it and have no support; as no one would know what to do, being they are KDE enthusiasts.

    Oh well... can't wait to try out Ubuntu!!

    Hi Ronnie.

    Glad to see you here and hope you enjoy your experience with Ubuntu. It's a great distro and GNOME 2.8 is fantastic.
