Hear we go again. hyeah:
I've d/led the Ubuntu random animal of the year CD. Have a few doubts before taking the plunge again.
I'll be able to install it just fine. Have reinstalled linux probably more times than darkstar hyeah: Then I'll d/l the drivers, updates, and any extra s/w I need. Its after this stage that things start acting up. So, I would like to create a new iso with all these updates. If ubuntu borks up on me, I wouldn't have to waste bandwidth d/ling everything again. How do I do this?
Better yet, any idea if acronis true image bootable cd will let me create an image of the install?
Another important doubt - Many times I screw something up, and X doesn't start. I'm stuck at the command prompt. I'm dead sure that X can be reset and restarted from the command line, if only someone will tell me how to!
A quick search reminded me that PCLOS had worked great for me last time. How does it compare to Ubuntu now? Any other distro I should try out?
