all in all, few could have done better, scarcely much, better and complaining about it isn't helping making the next one good either!

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.

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.
