[ale] Suse vs. Ubuntu. Is is worth the time to switch to ubuntu?

[Tim Youngblood]

The cd images for installing Ubuntu 7.04 are livecds and will boot your
machine. This allows you to give Ubuntu a good test drive without installing
a single bit on your machine.

Other than that I can tell you that after using RH9.0-FC6 I had enough. Suse
is the first place I went but it did not want to install on my workstation
so I gave Feisty a whirl and I'm very glad I did. It works really nicely for
me (AMD64 and all) and everyone I've spoken to.
