Ubuntu Linux – Very First Impression

I just checked out the latest Ubuntu 7.04, aka “Feisty Fawn”, CD in my very old Celeron 300MHz box, just to see how it looks.  Not trying to be Captain Obvious here, but I thought being able to get Firefox up and running by just booting the CD (not installed on hard drive yet) was pretty cool!  I’ve been using Linux for a while now since the early Redhat days.  I’m now running an older version of Fedora for this website and hoping one day to upgrade it with something worthy.  With the high publicity of Ubuntu, I’m hesitant to use it as the replacement, but after what I read and saw, this might well be the one I’m looking for.

Now I read somewhere that I can also boot Ubuntu from a USB drive. However, since I’m looking for a server software replacement, I think I’ll check that out later.
