I’m finally back from listening to podcasts, exams and stuff. Of course, I’ve also been a good blogger and have succesfully found more stuff to complain about, namely Ubuntu and the direction of its development.

Ubuntu is arguably one of the best distros for newbies out there, but in the recent months, as a long-time Ubuntu user and complete Linux nerd I’ve been installing Linux on various different machines and some interesting thoughts and results appeared infront of me.

Ubuntu is a good Debian-based distro. But why does Debian normally work where Ubuntu simply doesn’t?  Hardy Heron was supposed to be a stable LTS release, right? Where did the Debian base go? Ubuntu’s speed cannot be advertised anymore with the new release, just like openSUSE’s can’t. Xubuntu is a very bad excuse for a light distro – because it’s not.

256 RAM don’t cut it nowadays. But why? Why does Apple’s (crappy) Mac OS X run faster than the old version?

It puzzles me. It really does.
