"I like Ubuntu. I just do. There's a simplicity about it that appeals. Every successive release adds an additional layer of abstraction between the user and the 'plumbing'. While some might pass this off as soft-hearted pandering to a demographic that was never meant to use Linux in the first place, 'Debian for the Lazy', there is a gentle delight in taking a smooth, working OS and working your way down into its innards."

I've used Fedora, Slackware, Suse and i would have to say that default Gnome Desktop of Ubuntu is fantastic. I like it that you can't tell where the OS stops, and the "special system configuration tools" of Ubuntu start. Seemless is the way to go.
A word about OEM installs of a system as good as Ubuntu. If you use Windows, please purchase hardware that is reported to work under Linux / Ubuntu. This way hardware component makers will learn to support Linux, or fall off the face of the earth. OEMs will then have a lot of hardware that will work under Linux. OEM installs will then cause larger software companies to support Linux.
