Re: [LAU] Graduating from Ubuntu Studio

Fluxbox allows you to keybind it like crazy. It is light and fast. You can edit the menu really easily using some of the utilities that come with fluxbox or using vim. You can put whatever scripts you want or need in the menu. I am sure you can all of this stuff in any WM though. Not at all. A big waste of time. I started out on Debian. Then moved to Red Hat. I liked RH but ran into problems. It was not a big deal. I fixed them. I switched then to Gentoo. In Gentoo I spent LOTS of time being a Sysadmin. I was always wondering what is the right very of jack that I should be running for ultimate stability. Then I had to recompile stuff that was compiled against jack. That was also not the only problems I had. I then discovered Ubuntu. I have never used anything else since. That is except for a server I have that runs Debian. I love Debian and Debian based distros. Very easy. It is very simple create your own .debs if needed. In Gentoo I spent lots of time writing all these .ebuild files because I was not satisfied with the overlay's ebuilds. Anyway, I am using Ubuntu know. I actually use gnome for everything I do because it seems to perform fine. I have not had any troubles with it. My wife likes it and thinks its easy. She can update it and install things if she needs to. I tried Studio64. It was nice but did not see really any advantage over Ubuntu Studio. Jeremiah
