Really What is so special about Ubuntu, WHAt?. I have a few costumers that wanted to try Linux because they have heard of it online or at the store where they bought there computer. Since they know that I run Linux on my systems they ask me about it and if I can help them installing it. First question is which is better Ubuntu, Opensuse or fedora. For this what I do is that I install the one they have heard of first, which is Ubuntu, then after they have been playing with it for a week I let them my laptop(IBM T20 with a pentium 3 and 384 of memory) "in both cases there is no compiz active" running fedodra 7 GNOME on the desktop then after a day or to I let them play with my other laptop (HP pavillion, pentium 3 and 256 of memory) running Opensuse KDE and GNOME. All of them want me to install Opensuse on it because of this reasons: It looks and feels way more organize and it looks different even dough is the same GNOME gui and they can find things better and faster plus everything they try to run on it just works. Now on those systems that have good graphics I activate the compiz-fusion and thats when they go bananas, they dont want to look back. My point is that even dough Ubuntu is an advance OS and is making a big difference with potential users, is still the same desktop over and over again the only thing is the background color. No this is not coming from me, is actually coming from this want to be Linux users that really wants to change over, that said, have you guys or will you guys give and compare other Linux distros that are as ready as Ubuntu (or even more ready) a chance too! »
