I did not say any other flavor (version). Ubuntu Linux is the MOST popular aside Debian and for VERY good reason. It is that fast and popular especially because of its interface of bells and whistles that Windows lovers love. The latest versions are rivalling Windows 8 metro. Take a look. The vast majority of computer users are not Usenet geeks at their memory lane first message board with a desktop days and plain text mail only at all. 90 percent of all users are on Windows because of MEDIA MEDIA MEDIA presentation and ability. It is ALL the money in Mobile as well. If you have not observed that you live under a rock. It is another reason I mentioned Ubuntu is a best presentation of Linux as well as Debian etc. Using a specialised version of Linux to demonstrate it to a Windows user to convince them to come on over as I said will get laughter and scorn. Linux actually can not stand up to Windows fully at all. I have been using Linux for several years and it is completely unstable compared to Windows. I found in Windows Vista the Microsoft "self healing" is a sophistication Linux has not dreamed about yet. This bears out that Windows was Unix Certified and Linux and Apple/Mac were not but only achieved "Unix-Like" certification - unstable unsecure. That is all expert and professional rating and measuring and industry wide standard and college and tech school curriculum period. It is NOT a gray area left up to speculation. Unix Certification is cold hard fact for all. Not some independent lab mention or testing. Google it. Apparently most Linux users have no clue to what that means and indeed have things back asserward that Linux is more stable or secure than Windows. That is an complete insult to the community at large. Back to speed as example I have read ezines that Gentoo for notebook/laptop is slow or slower as compared to others as Ubuntu. I feel indeed Linux has a unique design and features that none other do. The greatest difference that hits you in the face like a tidal wave is the speed of Linux compared to Windows - well there is no comparison. That is only ONE difference where Linux is way ahead in a world of its own. I mentioned Ubuntu for the many reasons and is why it is so popular and raved. ....Reply ? I didn't want words read into mine I did not say.
