- arkitect, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8That is the great thing about Ubuntu. No compiling from source unless you want too. Part of what makes it so great is that almost everything you could possible want is already packaged and ready to go. I think that Ubuntu is acutally easier to use than Windows when it comes to new program installation.

Which doesn't include GCC. Which completely blew my mind. - linuxrebel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5@Phocion55
Not having GCC is a good thing if you are using Linux to deploy to desktops and/or servers, not development systems. I don't want anyone compiling apps on the desktop systems or the servers I maintain. Deploying vetted binaries OK. But Nothing ever gets compiled there. Not even by myself or my IT team.
It's a security thing. So since more often than not Ubuntu/Kubuntu will be deployed on a non development system...... no GCC is a good GCC - schestowitz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Red Hat has a similar type of conference. Ubuntu is clearly headed towards greatness! Oracle has it's 'Open' conference as well this week. Liaison with Canonical? New GNU/Linux stack?

You are a Gentoo user, no doubt ;) - kaemaril, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'd go ... but since I'd be an alien visiting the US no way in hell I'm risking it.
Thanks, George, for crossing the US off my 'nice place to visit' list. - maino82, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I would love to attend something like this, but as just a little bitty end user who uses Ubuntu almost exclusively for home use, $700 is quite of bit of money to shell out! Especially since this doesn't include any travel costs.
