[sword-devel] Ubuntu

[Barry Drake]

Hi there ........

Sorry if I'm slightly off-topic here.  Over Easter, I decided to update 
my six-year old Linux so I could test a recent BibleTime with NET.  I 
was amazed at how easy it was to install Debian compared with a few 
years ago.  I wrote to the Debian folk to congratulate them, and one of 
them wrote off list to say if I thought Debian was easy, I ought to try 
Ubuntu.  I did.  I'm even more amazed!  Much, much easier than 
installing Windows on a PC.  And Ubuntu let me install binary packages 
of both BibleTime and GnomeSword ....  just fantastic!

So - if any PC user out there is thinking of going for Linux now's the 
time.  Ubuntu is Gnome-based.  If you lean towards KDE, there's it's 
cousin Kubuntu.  Both are derived from Debian, but are designed to make 
the process of moving over easy for the pc user.

God bless,

Barry
