"Various reviews I've seen about Ubuntu have attacked the release names (Hoary Hedgehog, Breezy Badger and upcoming Dapper Drake), or the 'ugly' brown GNOME screen background (which is easily changed). I consider such "flaws" to be trivial. When push comes to shove, I want my operating system to 'just work', and in this department Ubuntu delivers."

Just a note about 3, I don't think you can say the "odds" of a brute force attack working are low. The odds of a brute force attack working are HIGH: 100%. Given unlimited time t, brute force attack WILL work.
It's true that t approaches a big number the better a password is, but that's not to say people don't try it, and people don't succeed with shorter, less complicated passwords.
I agree, there are other better ways to break into systems. (Bugs in ssh, apache, etc.) But people still try it.
