I still think Ubuntu is stupid. Although I have been playing with Arch since this topic now... the only positive about things like Arch is the ability to build a "custom" setup.

Holy forget.

It didn't install properly. It's really forgeted up...

The iMac G4 does not support GUID Partition Tables. In order to install Leopard on an intel Mac, you need to make your hard drive partition a GUID partition table. You don't need to do this on a non-intel Mac.

So here's where it goes wrong. Because I was installing Leopard from an Intel Mac on the hard drive of the G4, it made me make the HDD a GUID Partition Table.

And like I said, the G4 does not support GUID Partition Tables. So it didn't work. It just made the HDD nothing.

So I've come up with a clever theory; I should be able to install 10.2 on the G4, then through Firewire run the disc drive off of the Intel Mac. This way it won't ask for a GUID Partition Table.

IF ALL ELSE FAILS, forget it, I'm putting Tiger on it and bedonewith.

AND IT'S INSTALLING! Awesome. It's using my brother's Macbook to install with the disc drive. SUCCESS!

Hey, where's LXDE? It's faster than all of the shells you listed. The LXDE version of Ubuntu is Lubuntu (beware though, it's unofficial).

(I still use Gnome, though. Compiz semi-ftw)

In my opinion, Arch beats the crap out of Ubuntu. I've had Arch Linux on a server for a while, and now I realize how annoying Ubuntu and its decendents are. Canonical is just too much of a bureaucracy.

I'm going to see if I can swap to Arch soon.

10.10: Only bad on LiveCD/USB

Launchpad/Ubuntu Forums post please. I smell personal problems. :3

If you like customizing wouldn't Gentoo be a much better option than Arch, I thought Arch was meant to be bare minimum, not customizable.

No, Arch is bare where you set it up yourself, installing your own packages and crap from the start. Its basically building your own system... sorta... it has to be bare to work. Technically you could just keep it empty.

Yes.

I don't recommend running Ubuntu off a USB key for anything more than an an alternative to disc installation. It doesn't run too great... nothing really can from a flash drive.
