I had this post in the pipe since start of june when Ubunbtu Dapper 6.06 was released. It has become a very clean and user friendly linux distribution is allegedly even grandma compatible.
I installed kubuntu, the ubuntu flavor with the KDE desktop, on an old AMD K3-400 with 512MB yesterday. The main purpose of that box will be playing music files so I was glad to see amarok does perfom well enough on that old piece of hardware. All in all the installation and the desktop make a mature impression. I wish there were some applications available via “add/remove programs” to easily install. If you want to check out a more detailed review of the distro head on over to lunapark6.com
Yes, I’m quite happy with it as well. I ran Breezy Badger for a while and I liked it but it seemed a tad slow. When I upgrade to Dapper, it was noticeably faster. The amazing thing is things just work – my sound for instance worked right off the bat. The other amazing thing is that it looks good enough that even my wife thinks it looks good enough that she might use it.
