I've got some (fairly) recent Ubuntu CDs

I'll use those, then just update/upgrade. Probably be less than dl-ing the whole .iso.

Get the entire ISO.

Much better detection and many otheer things. Please D/L the ISO.

There are some issues upgrading to Dapper from Warty, Breezy etc...

Just get the ISO. Can you do it somewhere other than home? Work? Library? etc?

Pretty sure I don't have a burner at work

The security restrictions here are ... well, we put the "strict" in "restrictions". I'll call the library, see what they say.

Okay, so I have D/L'd that latest and greatest of...

KNOPPIX v5.01 EN CD only

Alternate Full Install (not LiveCD with install) with a myriad of install options.

Ubuntu v6.06 LTS
Kubuntu v6.06 LTS
Xunbuntu v6.06 LTS

Anything else again?

Maybe other Debian Derivatives?

What's the diff?

I know Kubuntu is using KDE instead of the default Gnome. What's Xubuntu?

As for my preference, I still want to stay as "vanilla" as possible. Until now that's been plain ol' Debian. With Ubuntu becoming the "desktop Debian" I'll stick with that.

I've found the actual best Kubuntu

is actually Ubuntu with kubuntu-desktop installed via apt.

That way you get all the goodness.

Re: What's the diff?

Xubuntu is Ubuntu with XFCE as its desktop.

I invited her up to my place for a little midnight bait. I said, "Come on, baby. It'll only take a few minnows." She threw me that same old line: "Not tonight, I've got a haddock."
