Nope - totally wrong. Ubuntu has achieved a lot. They have appeared virtually out of nowhere, and they have taken the Linux desktop in a storm. They have managed to very quickly build a very user friendly Linux distribution - something Debian should have done years ago. And no, Mandriva hasn't achieved that, nor have SUSE or Red Hat. And they've managed to convince even hardcore Windows user to take a closer look at their achievement. Nowadays total beginners pop in a Ubuntu CD and install their distribution in a hitch. As THAT isn't a huge, huge achievement.
