I needed to do some testing of Oracle 11g on my personal Linux machine, and I couldn't get it to work on Gentoo. It installed fairly easily with the docs on the Ubuntu site.
Trust me, it was out of professional necessity, and not personal choice.
I recently wiped my Gentoo, keeping my /home and installed Ubuntu 10.04 per a friends recommendation.
So far no issues. I do notice performance degradation when making large file transfers from an external USB drive.
I was looking at 10.10. Any reason to upgrade? The Ubuntu site does not seem to give any valid reasons for making the jump, but I'm a fairly new Ubuntu person.
Welcome to ubuntu
you will get whatever you want for your PC.
I would have kept Gentoo and installed Ubuntu either as dual-boot or in Virtualbox.
That probably would have been wiser, but after several hours and frustration one tends to act rashly.
Ubuntu is interesting. I installed it on a friends netbook a few years ago, and decided to give it a go. I guess change is good, even if I fight it tooth and nail generally.
Ubuntu has been so easy to use. It was my first linux. I had big plans, including running a tv tuner, which is often difficult in linux. The Ubuntu community is quick to respond and help with problems. To be honest, I have tried a couple of other distros on different partitions, but I always come back. The others just don't seem to make things as simple.
