Ubuntu pleasent surprise

As I said, I got a new machine a couple of days… I have been trying to get the ndiswrapper to work on openSuse for about 2 days with no luck what so ever, I got to a point that I even though not to install Linux mainly because I don’t what to have an Ethernet cable from one point to the living room to the other one :(

As a last resort I decided to install Ubuntu, mainly because Ed has always said is better than openSuse and also because I have heard good things about its user friendliness. After the installation I could not boot either Windows or Ubuntu, but that might have been my fault (I had a USB stick plugged in and the BIOS did not like that :P ). and I’ve got to say, kudos to the guys from canonical, your ndiswrapper support is excellent!!!!! It took me around 5 mins to connect to the wireless (include getting the dammed WPA key) to the wireless!!!!

The conclusion is that I wont be using openSuse but Ubuntu and I ma not going to try Solaris, is to much work.
