Fedora would have been fine, except:- I chose the 'server' installation
- Turns out the 'server' installation comes with no text editor. And
yum install vim or the likes turned up naught - I reinstalled, this time doing 'server' and 1 more box, vim
- Doesn't warn me at all, but it partially installs X without me telling it to... other strange stuff happens.
Then, I try Ubuntu:- There's a slight learning curve with this
sudo stuff, but not bad at first... - Then, I'm trying to download packages with
apt-get and all hell is breaking loose... - Some packages come in incomplete, some it can't even find...
- I
sudo apt-get install apache2, and for some reason, the config files are different from normal, and some stuff happens, so I remove it using apt-get, and rm -rf the config dir and reinstall it. - However, it decides not to recreate the config dir. And there's no where to get it.
At that point I gave up on Ubuntu...

So the question is, what do you think the next distro to try is? |
