I just finished installing the Breezy Badger and started configuring it. I'm sharing it through a dual boot on my IBM ThinkPad T40. So far, I'm not sure what exactly people love about the Breezy Badger. It's a decent enough Linux distro but I think SuSE 10 is an easier configuration for newbies and advanced users alike. The fact that there's no root user enabled in Ubuntu reminds me of OS X. I just feel that OS X handles it better and almost eliminates the need for the root user while Ubuntu still needs the root user to perform certain functions.
I'm sharing my home directory with both distros through a separate /home partition. So far, it's working pretty well and no conflicts yet.
I haven't made Ubuntu my primary OS just yet, partly because the ability to create different networking profiles seems a bit flaky to me. Maybe I'm just not using it properly but it's more complicated than SuSE or Fedora.
apt and the synaptic package manager work GREAT! People love apt but I can't see any major advantage over yum. Why can't Novell ditch YaST???
