Don't get me wrong, I love Debian, and I don't forsee using anything else on my desktop for a long time. But that doesn't mean I'm a zealot. Ubuntu (and MEPIS and Xandros) is a fine distro, especially for users that are new to Linux. For such a user, it may be better for them to use a distro that comes with more things already setup, rather than have to spend hours fixing lots of little things. Then they can still tweak away as much as they want. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
