Re: [plug] Ubuntu...why do you use it?

I don't hate it, but I do enjoy doing the evil dance (it's a Dilbert thing).

Here is what I don't like.

I don't like gnome. However, I have not found (in the past) that the KDE version (Kubuntu) was as current as Ubuntu.
I don't like that I can't have a root shell without going and downloading it or what ever the heck I did to get it took. I'm a Linux guy, not a Windows guy, and I don't like them holding it back for any reason.

I guess it boils down to those two things pretty much, but yes, I don't like the colors (I can change those). I've also had better luck with hardware support with other distros...but that is hit and miss in Linux.

Again, I don't hate it. I just have not come to see why everyone thinks this is the best thing ever.

OK...you've all got me convinced to give it ONE more try.  I have been a
Debian user for some time, and have also used Red Hat, SuSE and Mandriva
for a while.  I have been working with OpenSolaris for a while now and
like it, but I will give Ubuntu one more shot.  If I don't like it, I
will burn the ISO to a CD, just so I can break it.  Muuuuhahahahahahahahaha


Why all that hate for a distro ... what's in it that you didn't like?

Personally the only thing I didn't like about it is the choice of
colours for the themes... I didn't like the default brown ones .. but
other than that everything is just perfect..
