I'd better start by admitting that I'm a fan of KDE. It's not because it works like Windows, but for the quality of the tools available. However, a GUI is just a way of doing something and I think I've been a bit dismissive of the Gnome desktop up to now. I read a few reviews of Ubuntu, looked at their web site and decided to have a look. I wanted a general purpose (desktop) distribution and an opportunity to get to know the Gnome utilities.

Just like what doogle said, Ubuntu (and Canonical) was gracious enough to send me a box of CDs to give away in a local installfest for nothing - that's one thing that made this distro unique.
When you receive a FREE Ubuntu CD package, you get 2 discs - LiveCD and Install. This will continue even for the upcoming Hoary release. And they will ship it to you for FREE no matter where you are on this planet.
As for the DVDs not to play at all, ALL OS installs don't have that by default UNLESS its included in the package! Some distros won't have DVD playback by default for legal reaons. If you want legal DVD playback, buy it from Linspire or get TurboLinux 10F.
If you didn't like brown, then install the thing and change it. It's Debian anyway, no different from any debian based distro out there (live CDs included).
Who needs ROOT/SU when you can do the same stuff with SUDO without having the risk of trashing the whole system? SUDO is much safer btw.
