> I'll never understand what Ubuntu has that other distributions > don't. I haven't run Ubuntu, but just glancing at the web page after this thread started, I see one thing that makes it seem very appealing: It appears to be only one distribution. No confusing "enterprise", "workstation", "desktop", "consumer", "commercial" qualifiers on 16,721 different flavors of the product with different confusing levels of support. Redhat is bad enough along these lines, but SUSE is just insane with all their SLED and SLES, and desktop and enterprise and open versions (and the CD media having different content than the DVD media which is different in the shrink wrap box than it is on the ISO downloads and they are all different than the network install - my suspicion is the folks at SUSE have no idea what is in all their releases :-). With Ubuntu there appears to be just one distribution, and you can buy commercial support or not, but it is all the same. No suspicions that the free users are just beta testing the commercial system, or the commercial users have access to secret goodies. Any updates fix bugs for both at the same time. No confusing decisions to make about which distribution is the one you need. I can see why it would be attractive.
