I am not sure if I'm ready for that. I've been working on installing gentoo onto a laptop, and I can't get it to boot, so I don't think I want something that difficult. I like using the command line, but that thing (source based distros), it scares me.
I have heard that Ubuntu had spyware that sent information to amazon. Also I have heard that Ubuntu has a lot of unnecessary software aka bloat. Was that just desktop ubuntu or also ubuntu server?
