Manoj,
Actually personally I do use debian, every one of my servers run on debian. But remember these are servers, therefore I dont really care about X on those. Personally I have to keep a windows box for certain amount of development and software needed for development. My boxes all run stable in this case sarge since they are all production grade in data centers and offices. I have an additional "play" box i have at home which has ubuntu 6.06 on it, but my usage on that till date minus the installation barely surpasses 1-1.5 hours a month. Thats why i wanted a more outside referance with respect to desktop and usage. I tried out knoppix a few times, somehow always had issues for something or another (not new hardware .. its an AMD 1800XP 1533mhz). Anwyays, between my prior email and now, I asked my friend to choose and he chose kubuntu, so I am probably getting him that. I have started downloading, but if anyone has kubuntu 6.10 on DVD, i'd rather get it off there which would be much faster.. as i guess i would only get 10% every 2-3 hours (cant leave overnight ) Lets see how things go.. Thanks Manoj
