(K)Ubuntu has its place. They are distribution for the 'install it and

the nanny hand holding. This 'install it and forget it' crowd then sits
in front of the monitor and 'surfs the web'. They play their mp3s. They
watch their videos.
These users, the 'install it and forget it' crowd, are the ones that
show up on this list with the 'this is crap!!!!!!!!' and 'my stuff
don't' work!!!!!" rants and whines. Notice the excessive punctuation. :-)
*ubuntu is not that install and forget if you want to do something
serious. I use Fedora 11 at home and Xubuntu 8.04 for work, and every
time I try out something not conventional Fedora works flawlessly
whereas Xubuntu fails big time. I hate it, but the management at our lab
prefers that.
Just my 2 cents.
