Debian Versus Ubuntu

Ubuntu seems to be the most popular Linux distribution these days. And in my opinion the best choice on the desktop PowerPC platform.
And it was my first choice on the x86 laptop I purchased. But the major problem was that my sound card would just not work. No matter what I tried.

So I downloaded the Debian Sarge netinstall cd image, burned and used it to install Sarge and the sound card still didn’t work.

Upgraded the kernel to 2.6.12 and it worked fine.
