Under Mandriva, a Fedora derivative I had Internet connection sooner than
under Ubuntu, still I like Ubuntu far more, its graphical interface is more
human, not so extraterrestrial and it is more usable. And I can find information
far, far easier and install and use a lot of programs.
One day I installed Fedora and in vain searched for info on how to install
programs from the repositories by using the command line.
Maybe, I am wrong, though.
