Recently I made a shift away from SID to the enchanting world of Ubuntu. I installed Ubuntu Jaunty on my laptop. What made me move away ....
1. SID was pretty heavy on my limited bandwidth resources. Upgrades are available far too often and I am not a guy who can sit idle even when an upgrade to packages that I never ever used are available.
2. SID brought in too many beta versions on my 2 years old laptop. The OS was breaking my laptop too often and everytime I was spending wasteful hours trying to recover and reconfigure.
3. Being in hardware design and verification domain, I seldom need latest versions of various packages. SystemC, C++ and Python are the I can get to the software domain.
