我从Linux Format杂志附加的DVD得到的Ubuntu CD和Debian DVD 1。
如果发行者不认为Ubuntu CD量不足,他们是不会作个DVD版的。
Ubuntu向满世界邮寄CD,对象是哪些人? 对这些用户,大面积Internet升级维护未必实际。
Ubuntu自己打的一些包内容组织得和Debian有交有缺,有问题自己动手修有麻烦。
Ubuntu确实很好,但Debian更好。
我部分赞同Ian Murdock对 Ubuntu的评价。用惯了Debian的人,不大会转移的。
"If anything, Ubuntu's popularity is a net negative for Debian," Murdoch told internetnews.com. "It's diverged so far from Sarge that packages built for Ubuntu often don't work on Sarge. And given the momentum behind Ubuntu, more and more packages are being built like this. The result is a potential compatibility nightmare."

First of all, this isn’t a case of sour grapes: Progeny and Canonical are in two very different businesses. Progeny’s business is custom distro technology, whereas Canonical’s business is a single custom distro, namely Ubuntu. I wish Canonical all the success in the world. If Ubuntu is part of the Debian family, then we all win if Ubuntu is a success.
However, we all win if and only if Ubuntu remains a good son. My concern is that it’s already starting to show signs of becoming the wayward variety, flush with confidence from early successes and starting to wonder if it no longer needs its parent (for example, the vitriol shown by some Ubuntu users in the comments surprised me).
Furthermore, providing a compatibility environment (or, better still, basing on a sarge core while still taking edge bits from sid) won’t hurt Ubuntu at all. I seriously doubt many people use Ubuntu to get the latest version of coreutils–I strongly suspect more people are interested in the latest GNOME and X.org. |
