Sorry 'bout that. : I am one of those "new" users and while I find all this discussion interesting and informative I have been quite pleased with EMC2 up to this point. While I'm eager to learn more about Linux I have neither the knowledge or the time to do much tinkering with its innards so I'm grateful to those who have done all the hard work of making it functional and easy to use for folks like me. I've been lucky so far that Ubuntu has installed without hassle on all of the 4 or 5 machines I've used it on (all but the first of those installations has been from the EMC2 live CD). So, whatever distribution is used in the future is OK with me as long as it "just works" and will install on the older, used machilnes I prefer (because I can get them for free :) ).
