To keep me from HDD installing, explain ...
... why my 5.3.1 live CD experience is so much more satisfying than that of kubuntu HDD installed?
1. I've used the ubuntu package management system to download a half-dozen programs which purport to be about the showing of videos. (I create MPEG-I's as a hobby as 3D animator.) Nearly all of them won't do it, including Kaffeine. (Kaffeine on more than one other live CD does however.)
2. I've used the ubuntu package management system to download a half-dozen MP3 players, and Amarok notably among them doesn't play MP3's. (Amarok however will do so in the version that comes with several other live CD's).
3. The ubuntu package management system only has Blender up to 2.43, but 5.3.1 Knoppix has 2.45.
Now, if the answer were "because Debian's package management system is cooler / better maintained /less paranoid about licensing issues than ubuntu's", then hey I'll install Debian on a box. I was militantly opposed to Debian because of all the things it did not "come with", notably madwifi, when I started tinkering with linux in 2005.
If the answer were "because of the blood sweat and tears of Klaus to hand-craft a system," then okay maybe you have a point.
Ironically, I went to bed saying, I'm gonna HDD install 5.3.1, but I remember that guy with the dog as an avatar saying not to. I'll go ask him to defend his reasons tomorrow morning. Thanks for that FAQ:
