Thank fucking god, no more Ubuntu
Aloone_Jonez:
The defaults vary frome distro to distro some may be more sane than others. I agree though, I probably only find Windows easier because I use it more often than Linux and I've grown up with it.

And they're all saner than every version of Windows, IMO (save the not-for-noobs distros that intentionally don't automatically setup a user a/c / etc.).
Pathos:
I had to alter fstab to enable my Win/Lin fat32 swap partition and a CD rom.
Had to alter xorg.conf to enable my second monitor and some missing resolutions.
Had to add asound.conf and rerun alsaconf to setup sound properly.
now it just works.
I don't know why alsaconf didn't work the first time. The xorg.conf is understandable, but I would have thought it would have put the entries for the monitor and card in but not enable it. The additions to fstab should not have been needed, Windows automatically installs new CD drives and partitions, theres no reason why Linux can't do the same (the CD drive was the one i used to install linux!).
cymon:
I hate ubuntu, I wanted to try it, being a linux n00b, so I made the live CD's. After reading some FAQ's, I decided to skip the ripoff and get the real deal, in short, I decided to install debianppc on a dual boot with OSX tiger, only to find that I wasted the rest of my CD's on crappy Ubuntu that didn't work anyways.
Narf Man:
kintaro... does Debian give you Linux's full power?
I've been using Xandros and quite frankly, it's pissing me off cuz it's so damn crippled. Even with K3B I can't burn faster than 2x and I can't get DVD burning ability to go. Windows partitions are read-only. The "file manager" crashes too frequently.
Xandros was OK when I was transitioning over from windowsland, but now it's just too restrictive (I'm not paying $90 to "unlock" full ability).
