7.10 is good, but I recently seem to have run into issues with the system locking up, especially Firefox, which I never saw with previous releases.

I definitely want to start experimenting with other distros to see how they compare.

There seem to always be a few glitches with each release which can be a bit annoying. Overall though it is a good step in the right direction.

Ubuntu will continue to be my main distro of choice although I will be experimenting with other distros. I’ll be writing future articles on my experience with these.

Well, I’ve done the clean install. And Gutsy takes longer to boot and feels more sluggish on my IBM R31- 1.13Ghz 512mb. System.

Also, libdvdcss2 is proving challenging to activate (no, sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 doesn’t work and hasn’t worked since Edgy eft)- not to mention the fact that the problems I’ve had in the past with my repositories under feisty seems to be happening under Gutsy as well.

Mint Linux anyone?

There must be a better way….
