What a blast from the past! Hardware has come a long ways since then. As I had an existing software RAID configuration, installing my Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop (over Ubuntu 8.04) required the Alternate install CD at the time. Since then my motherboard irrepairably died, and the SATA drives / power supply / video card had been carried forward into a new system. Got a sweet bundled deal on a Core i5 with 8GB RAM and motherboard, then I switched to the PAE kernel so I could take advantage of the 8GB RAM with the 32-bit architecture. Next system upgrade I will probably switch to 64-bit architecture on my existing hardware. Some years back I did run FC3 (LTSP + Samba) servers. Since then then I have made the switch to Ubuntu (various LAMP stack mostly with some network monitoring i.e. cacti and smokeping also some squid web caching proxy servers). Several years ago I was at a half-day workshop that involved building I forget what kind of appliance (maybe a mail server?) that used slackware and my impression was.... how do you keep the damn thing updated without anything like apt or yum.
