After years of being away from Linux, I decided to give it another go with the latest Kubuntu a few days ago.

After a painless install I ended up being at the computer all day and up until 2am, obsessively tweaking and trying new stuff. I can't believe how much I miss it.

Btw, I was into redhat (circa 5.2) and Slackware, reconfiguring and recompiling the kernel over and over. Making the OS wicked-fast. The experience is even better now. Awesome!

I feel ya on the experience, I ran Slackware for years and years (Dropline Gnome!) and around Ubuntu 5.x or so I was introduced to it and have been on it since. I had a short stint on Gentoo... glad those days are over

Heh. Gentoo required too much hackery and configuring for my tastes.

Redhat and fedora were always my faves. Love the rpm packaging system. But it seems Ubuntu and it's ilk are the most "user friendly".

Great write up btw Josh!
