And I can truthfully say, I’m not looking back. My distro of choice, Ubuntu 6.10 edgy eft. I’ve compiled a list of the top 10 must have programs. This is not a complete list by any means, but it should save you a lot of time when you make the switch.</p> <P><A id="more-8"></A>This list isn’t in any particular order.</p> <P>deluge
I spent many hours looking for that perfect torrent manager. Azerus just sucks on Ubuntu. It’s outdated, a resource hog and just didn’t seem to work. Ktorrent is pretty good, and has quite a few features, but still it wasn’t that ‘perfect’ torrent manager I was looking for. And then I read a post on the Ubuntu forums about deluge. Deluge can do just about everything Azerus can do, but using only half the memory and not have any problems reading and writing to my mounted drives on my file server.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/55241A47-B695-4F57-8E11-E93C8D1225CB/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
