 The way an operating system should be done, 2007-11-05
I'd been a long itme windows user and was looking for a change. I got tired to constantly downloading updates to buggy problems in Windows. I got tired of hearing about the latest security hole. I got tired of beta testing software that I paid for, and most of all I got tired of being told that M$'s vision is the only one worthy.
So...I looked for a difference. I like the Mac, I liked the fact that it was UNIX based. I like OSX. But I can't justify the price for something that is pretty, no matter how well it works.
Then I found SimplyMepis and Ubuntu.
I tried SimplyMepis, dual booting it with Windows XP and it was good, but I wanted more.
I downloaded and tried Ubuntu. Power, speed, flexibility and ultimate customization. No more worrying about spyware or virii. Quick and easy to use. Every piece of hardware I had just worked. The community is something to behold. Very hlepful people and no zealots.
So as of 2 weeks ago, I reformatted my hard drive, installed Ubuntu and am completely M$ free and loving it!
The best distro out there by far in my opinion!

It just works., 2007-11-03
I've been using Ubuntu since version 6.06, and I love it! Some of the more useful features include:
1) Synaptic Package Manager - A central location in which I can find and install/remove just about any software. Windows has nothing like this!
2) Automatic updates, for all installed software. Not just what came preinstalled with the operating system.
3) Hardware support - With the exception of certain ATI graphics cards (and that's ATI's fault for writing bad drivers), Ubuntu's hardware support is the best I've seen. You plug something in, it works, end of story.
4) Clean, well-designed, and infinitely customizable interface. My Ubuntu looks *exactly* how I want it to look.
