I'm sorry to tell you that I did my own tests, and no distribution's decision is finite. In your case, however, you go with Ubuntu since v1. This is your own blind decision.
I'm sorry, but I have to disagree here. How is that decision 'blind'? I've used many distributions over the years, and kept comparing them to each other as they progressed - Mandrake, Gentoo, Fedora Core, Debian, RHEL, various Live distros, and more. And time after time, ever since it was released, Ubuntu has proven to be a better choice for new-intermediate users than the others, and by its own right a very powerful and comfortable OS. I've seen many people switch from other distros to it, and be very happy. Admittedly, I have nil experience with SuSE, but saying that my decision for Ubuntu is blind, well, that's a bit much.
I'm glad that you achieved a 2 years experience(!) with Ubuntu. Happy for you. If you ever want to do an Ubuntu Linux Party, you go and do it. You have no right to complain here. You didn't like the decision from the beginning. Every time you could just leave, and I wouldn't try to hold you.
Ah, but here you miss the point. I don't work for Ubuntu and I couldn't care less if people run it or something else. My interest was to better the experience of the installfest for the installees (to promote F/OSS, blah blah blah - but specifically, to make the linux day a good linux day). And I believed then as I still do now that Ubuntu would have been a better choice of distro. However, seeing as you wouldn't accept this option (at least not until installations failed left and right, and/or the first person without the DVD drive came along), I was faced with two options: Either refuse to help, or help. Believing that I can indeed help, I stayed on board. But that doesn't revoke my right to bitch about the distro. -- To necessity... and beyond!
