"When looking at desktop Linux by itself, any analysis of the subject quickly leads to this question: why do users choose one version over another? There are as many answers for this question as there are users to give them, but ultimately it should boil down to just a few key decisions which must be made. Considering this, it may be surprising to some people to find out how successful Ubuntu Linux has been relative to other distributions."

For me, Kubuntu replaced my formerly used distro on three machines within less than a hour. I've heart of it a long time ago, but just recently thought I'd give it a try, downloaded the AMD4 + the PPC LiveCDs, inserted them into my desktop & my girlfriends iBook - and EVERYTHING worked right from the start. If I close the iBook's lid, it would go to sleep, if the battery is almost empty, is also goes to sleep to prevent data loss, if I put my USB sticks, OGG players or digital cameras in, they're auto-detected and an appropiate app is started ... I was so impressed, I started downloading the install CDs from within the LiveCD environment and just wiped / of my former distro and installed Kubuntu on all the machines.
