I guess. It doesn't make a huge difference outside of the package managers. DEBs seem to be more popular, though. RPM is making some improvements from what I've seen, though.

Deb is definitely the better package format; imo. And apt-get is the best thing ever.

Hello. I've been using a Live USB of Ubuntu created using Unetbootin. After using it a bit i liked it quite a lot, although it wasn't persistent. I found pendrivelinux.com, which has a link to something that creates a persistent Ubuntu from the iso file i already had. Once i did this i re-booted. Ubuntu loads for quite a while and then i get a black screen with this message and other similar ones continually appearing:
end_request: I/O error dev fd0, sector0
I just have to shut down and re-try to the same result.
The first method i had i seemed to prefer to be honest, the latter was a bit irksome. Is there any way to make the Unetbootin Live USB persistent?

I'm not 100% sure what you mean by persistent, but if you're having issues, then it's best to use the in-built Live-CD creator which is available from Jaunty onwards. I haven't used it personally, but it's supposed to work for most linux distros.
Good luck.
Good luck.
It can't write to the index of your flash drive (presumably because flash hardware works different than standard hard drives). I have no idea how you would fix this.

I don't know what to say to the flash drive thing, except good luck on getting it to work.

How did you first get into using Ubuntu or any other Linux distribution?

Ctep, thanks haha. In response to your question...it was Xscreensaver (application thingy). A bit lame but once i seen it, i really wanted to try it all out and after about 12 months or something or lazily gathering more research i decided i could happily try Linux out with most of the features i need.
