Ubuntu gets a failing grade.

by r. proffitt Forum moderator Nov 21, 2005 11:33AM PST

I tried something simple. To copy from a network share to my new spiffy Ubuntu 5.1 (latest) machine. After a little work to see the network share on another Linux based NAS, the Ubuntu coughs up an error there is insufficient space on a drive with 279GB free. Next time on another (smaller) directory if copies but the files and directories never show up.

-> Back to Suse 10.0

I'll write its hardware support looked impressive, but failing file copies is bad bad and bad.

Maybe never version.

I have not had any issues like that... but then my harddrive is only 60 gig and the only other box on the "network" is debian... I am not really experienced enough to know what impact those factors have but i assume that i am a pretty typical home user, and as a typical home user (ubuntu's target audience), it works for me.

I also tried Ubuntu, but I dont know why I left it. I think it was because of a touchpad\touchball mouse error on my Laptop. Well, it was back to SUSE for me also.
