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.

Yes, every other manufacturer that churns out every possible computing system form factor for every possible market at the lowest prices possible (namely, Dell and HP).

Plus, because they don't have control over the software which goes onto their products, they usually shirk the responsibilities over the software part of the systems to the software vendor (Microsoft), which then charges $25 to ask a single question (hearsay).

The customer service, in this case, isn't taught to cater to the whole system, only the half or less of it.

I would buy a server from HP any day of the week and twice on Sunday. The quality is remarkably better.

Dell servers? No thanks. Been there, done that....won't happen again.
