Ubuntu 7.10 beta replaces openSUSE 10.3 GM
I finally followed through my on my threat to replace openSUSE with Ubuntu. I've replaced openSUSE 10.3 GM with Ubuntu 7.10 Beta 1. Based on my experiences with both on my machines, I consider Ubuntu 7.10, even though it is still in beta, to be the better of the two distributions.
Upgrading openSUSE
The first (un)planned step in migrating from openSUSE to Ubuntu was a planned step to migrate from openSUSE 10.2 to openSUSE 10.3. I had every intention of upgrading when 10.3 came out, and to start that migration I installed openSUSE 10.3 RC1 on europa. I wasn't particularly pleased with how it occurred. There were issues with what appeared to be a corrupt installation DVD/ISO. I managed to get nearly everything fixed and europa was finally up and operational.
As I started to use 10.3 as a development platform I discovered a problem with running Java 6, downloaded from Sun's site, on openSUSE 10.3.
