*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.
I understand what you mean. If you read what I said when I said "install
and forget" it was Joe/Jane Average User that (K)Ubuntu is made for.
Mostly. Not power users or professionals.
