Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu "My verdict: Even in the relatively slick Ubuntu variation, Linux is still too rough around the edges for the vast majority of computer users", says Mossberg. Among others, he complains about one of the things I did too when I was writing my stream of Ubuntu reviews back in Spring.

Matter of opinion, many people prefer Ubuntu to Fedora. Personally I prefer Debian based distros, including Ubuntu though I am using Etch at the moment.

It is a matter of personal choice so please do not sound off like Fedora is the answer to all problems. Each has their strong points and their followers. If you really must proselytize then list the reasons for you preference in a polite and well reasoned article or post. "UBUNTU is horrible!" is simply not constructive.


Also not to contradict some of the Ubuntu supporters but getting encrypted DVDs is not as easy as picking the choice from the codec app in my experience. (MP3, yes. DVD, no.) You need to add the medibuntu repository and install dvdcss separately in my experience, though I suppose I may have been doing something wrong.

You don't even have to do that. the script to install it is included with the libdvdread library, its just hidden, but the instructions are in the actual help files nice and big so users can do it if they wanted to.

Wow, your wordplay is so creative! Quit trolling. If you don't like Ubuntu, how about stating why?

Yeah, I guess he hasn't used yum which is horrible. Besides if Ubuntu was junk why is Fedora getting its ass kicked by it? Its certainly not because of the DE they use.
