'ever' huh. I'll have to disagree with that. But of course right now it would all be speculation. Time will be the judge, but I definitely see it coming personally. It will just take the right distro and Ubuntu is a great start. ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

I bought a copy of Ultimate a couple of weeks after it came out. I do have to say, as someone who is not a big Linux fan...Ubuntu is one of the best distros I have encountered to date. I stil don't think that linux will ever be the OS of choice for the general public, outside of companies writing shells that sit on top of it like Mac OSX. Just when the anti-MS folks think that Windows is not secure (rofl)...just wait till a bunch of non-techies start installing linux...talk about hackrs and virus writers shooting fish in a barrel.

I'm quite impressed. I'm comfortable with just about any distro but I'd be comfortable putting my wife or mom on Ubuntu. It's a breeze and quite idiot proof (in comparison to most). ....:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Honestly, I'm loving it :oD I dual boot into Vista when I want to play games, and that's about it.
