Introduction:
Before starting this post, let me give you a flashback of my current situation so that the lazier among my readers here can get a gist of the story without any clicks. Ubuntu Linux was my first Distro, but its most recent version was just too hot for my computer to handle. It was a disaster on my PC. Then I tried out Debian Lenny. It would have been good before, but now was the time its development period was about to end. And it was a bit too vague in many respects. So I had to say goodbye to it too.
You have seen two stages of my review of Debian Sidux GNU/Linux, about my installation of Sidux and my experiences with its first update. After a round of updates and installing software, and also customising, I can now consider Sidux to be almost family to me. Let me enter my third (and hopefully last) stage of my sidux review – the experience of Sidux now that everything has settled down(sort of).

You remember my previous post about my Sidux install, right ? Well, a good lot has happened since then.
I installed sidux thrice, yes THRICE, after that. All that for a simple net connection/router problem. And because I wanted ReiserFS, the filesystem of my root partition, to be replaced with ext3 again. Anyway, I had lots left to read in Linux For You, and the internet was still there, so I could amuse myself with something while sidux installed. Luckily, I have a seperate /home partition. This ensured that I don’t have to recustomise Sidux all over again. Anyway, once all my trouble seemed over, new trouble started…

I have finally replaced Debian “Lenny” (Testing) with Debian “Sid” (Unstable) based Sidux, due to the reasons mentioned here. Anyway, I installed the 2008.1 DVD. As first time impressions can be misleading, I usually avoid them, but now I HAVE to say it feels great. Its doccumentation is detailed and indepth. It gives lots and lots of advice to the user.

This is my set of notes I jotted down while I was playing with Debian Lenny. Not formatted, and often vague, but it will do. I am posting it here to just show how good/bad lenny experience can be to someone.

I am a big fan of Ubuntu Linux. But I guess its time to say goodbye to Canonical’s Wonder, perhaps permanently. My first ever Linux distribution was ubuntu Linux 7.04. It taught me nearly everything I know about Linux. It, and the huge community it has have collectively ensured that I became a Linux user and a good one too.
