[ale] upgrading my obsolete Ubuntu 11.04 to What?

[James Sumners]

Please, _please_, don't base any opinion of Debian on that god awful
review. The person who wrote it had no clue what Debian is when they
started (and finished) writing the review. I provided a real Debian 6
review in the comments of that article --

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to stick with Ubuntu and just
install a desktop environment that suits you. If I, for some wacky
reason, install Ubuntu on a system I always end up doing `apt-get
install xubuntu-desktop` to get a usable desktop environment. Hell,
you could even install Gnome 2 --

As for your settings, that's why you have home directories and
personal dot files. You should be able to take your home directory to
any distribution and retain all of those settings (but you will have
to apply the appropriate permissions to the files).

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
