For me, the whole Ubuntu philosopy gets in the way. No root? What's up with
that?... Randomly generated MySQL password? No thanks... SUDO every
time I have to do something as superuser?... Everytime?... Too much bother,
and I don't need a Nanny.
I thought MythBuntu looked promising, but the install scripts are very... um...
restricting? As long as you want your system built their way, then maybe, but
I couldn't figure out how to set up raid0 with xfs.
The writeup on the Ubuntu community wiki says that you can turn an Ubuntu
intallation into a MythBuntu system, but I couldn't get it work. Too many
permission problems. I could not get into MySQL no matter what I tried. The
"randomly generated" password wouldn't let me in, and I couldn't change it
because... oh yeah, I couldn't get in!
So It's back to Fedora 7 for me. At least I can find my way around that
distribution and hose it up as root it I want to.
