Humanity towards myself (again)

After a recent dist-upgrade ended up preventing me from either installing or uninstalling any package due a dangerous and unsupported fll-live-initscripts being partially installed (and having Arch Linux fail to install properly again), I decided to go back to Ubuntu. With the next version ‘Hardy Heron’ (8.04) dropping next week, I believe it’ll be better to test Sidux on a non-production system before bringing it back to prime time. Since Sidux ended up being a bit of a bust due upgrade pains and the fact that I need to be able to set up and maintain it on three computers (one of them having only 203MB of usable RAM), I decided to look else where. Considering the memory requirements I had chosen three different Ubuntu-based distributions. One was Shift Linux which uses the Fluxbox window manager in one of its variants. The second was Fluxbuntu which also uses the same window manager. The last I chose was Elbuntu, an Ubuntu-based distribution using the Enlightenment window manager. But I’m not the one choosing which *buntu I’ll be using though as I’ve decided to let my girlfriend pick which the to use. Her computer is the third of three computers I’ll be setting up and maintaining so it’ll be her choice as to what to use.
