Pierre Equoy ☛ Twenty Years with Ubuntu
But this time, it was 2004, one of my classmates was a Debian user, and more importantly, there were online forums where very nice people were available at all times to provide guidance and advice to get you started with Linux. This time, I didn't want to nuke my Windows installation: I had homework and deadlines at school. But that summer, I had bought a second hand laptop, so I decided to give Linux another try. Two distributions were often mentioned for their ease of use: Fedora and Ubuntu. I started with Fedora (which had a wonderful installation process, way better than anything Microsoft had ever done, and better that what was available with Ubuntu at the time). It was a nice experience, but ultimately I went with Ubuntu, mostly because the French forums had much more users and they were much more responsive. The first version, 4.10 “Warty Warthog”, had just been released, and the forum was very active.
