1. I don't recommend using Ubuntu to build software. Ubuntu doesn't come with the usual build tools (gcc, header files and all that) installed. That's why you had all the dependecies to deal with.
Ubuntu is good for e-mail and text editing, but not at all good for the task you are attempting. Try Fedora Core or SuSE instead. They are reasonably user friendly, and are *complete* distributions.
After reading this too many times I decided to try it.
Summary: those comments about Ubuntu are completely false. Ubuntu is as complete as any, and compares favorably with the others.
Thanks Al. Its good to see people reporting real experience rather than FUD. And I do like it better when it matches my experiences. :)
