theunixgeek.blogspot.com — Ubuntu is sometimes thought of as the beginner's distro, something that more advanced users don't care about - they think if you're advanced, you need Slackware or something where you have to build it from scratch ... etc, but that just takes up time.Of all the distros I've tried, Ubuntu is the fastest, most reliable, and most compatible.

I know, it'd be a dream job for a lot of us, but really, there is no such job as "professional bitcher", so no need to keep auditioning.

Ubuntu isn't at all just a distro for beginners. It's a great distro, but it may not be for everyone. I started using Linux with Red Hat version 6.something. I used Ubuntu for a while after it came out, but decided that something just didn't feel right. It wasn't for me. I switched to Slackware and Arch for my desktop and laptop at home. I'm perfectly happy with both of them. I guess what I'm trying to say is to each his/her own. No matter which distro you choose, we're still part of the same community.<a class="user" href="http://www.linsite.com">http://www.linsite.com</a>

Listen, I'm all for CLI but Ubuntu gives you the option of using CLI or GUI. It's user friendly to the point that I can modify xorg.conf settings through GUI. The same can't be said for a lot of other distros.Some people prefer GUI over CLI, one editor over another, one DE / WM over another. I thought using Linux was all about choice.

His point though was that people don't install operating systems - they use whatever came on the machine. They'll buy a Macbook, for example, because they've heard that 'Macs are easy to use'. Similarly they might buy a Walmart gPC because it's cheap. They won't decide "hey, I don't like feature X of my operating system, I'm going to install a different operating system!"

The Debian release cycle means that it's very stable but very old. This is fine for most of my needs.

CN probably was being tongue-in-cheek with that "You're a moron" comment also...
