All,
Thank you for the thoughtful responses to my questions about a
"misguided article" that I had read. You folks always find a way to dig
to the heart of an issue.
The one real concern I had was if the 'buntus were going the way of
Microsoft. As far as Canonical making money...more power t

The great thing these days, is that most distros can either be run as a

Thank you very much for the responses so far. I am not really
interested in a "Windows" experience. I am more familiar with KDE than
Gnome, only because that is what I was introduced to in the beginning.
I am not opposed to one or the other. When I installed both in the
Alpha stages, I want
You may want to try Mepis 8.5

I've sampled just about every major distro and Mepis 8.5 seems to more
closely approximate Windows install-and-play friendliness than any
other. It has by far the best KDE implementation, great fonts, useful
user GUI tools and it comes loaded wi

I totally agree with Robert. I've used all of the major distros. I feel
Ubuntu is the best one. Yes, the upstream dev's change how things work. We
learn what the changes are, and adapt. In the end, I haven't see any
changes that I disagree with. Even the xorg.conf issue, which I hated
initially

If you like KDE over Gnome, Mandriva 2010 One is an excellent choice. Try it
out and see for yourself.
Mandriva does a better job with KDE than Kubuntu.

Well, IMHO, the article is mainly a subjective opinion about Ubuntu. The
point about Xorg is silly-if he would have typed "man xorg" in the mystery
terminals he couldn't find it would have told him all about the new Xorg.
As for the endless "GNU vs (insert whatever here)" debate that has been

All,
I have been, with the help of this list, weaning myself and family from
the world of Micro$oft. I started out with SUSE somewhere around the
6.* version. I followed a small crowd running the other direction when
Novell started contracting with the Redmond community.
