[linux-audio-dev] Ubuntu vs. Debian [was: Problem compiling with liblo]

Hallo, Lee Revell hat gesagt: // Lee Revell wrote: Yes, I know, I was just joking, I'm not even using Gnome. I just found, that using Ubuntu for my style of work provides no advantages at all. They put a lot of work into tight Desktop integration and stuff while I just use a command line and don't need all this. The software I use a lot is older in Ubuntu than in Debian testing (Pd, blackbox, now liblo). Basically I made my Ubuntu system behave like a Debian system in most ways, which was a lot of work and isn't guaranteed to survive upgrades. When upgrading from Hoary to Breezy a lot of stuff broke and to fix it, I actually had to run Gnome-tools I didn't start in months. E.g. when I changed the default language from German to English, Gnome-terminal didn't accepted and displayed umlauts anymore. I found no way to have english messages but still be able to type ä. Then gnome-terminal doesn't accept the "-ls" option anymore and tells me to use some Properties Menu and create a "Profile" for it. I mean, I had a "profile", which was a keyboard shortcut I configured for bbkeys to run "gnome-terminal -ls". Why do they disable a command line option, when it is working just fine? To force users to read manuals and open Properties menus? So I'm back to using rxvt again, just as on my main and plain Debian box. There were several similar things happening when upgrading. Nothing really bad, but I learned from this, that Ubuntu is not for everyone and definitely not for me. I'm not saying it's a bad distribution, it isn't. I'm just not in the target audience, I think. End of rant. ;) Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org_ __goto10.org__
