I like Ubuntu because even on an older PC, I can insert DVD, load and patch the OS in an hour without registering, activating or entitling. Try to do that with Winders or many of the other flavors of Linux.

I am hearing a lot about it so I did the usual googling, visiting www.ubunto.com <http://www.ubunto.com/> etc. to see why this is a "better linux". I was expecting to find lots of sites giving examples and arguments about why this is the greatest thing since sliced bread. So far, I found nada (of substance). All I can tell is that Ubuntu is (maybe!) better for those wishing to run Linux workstations for their computer un-savvy spouses. Is that it ??!! Can someone point me to some specific advantages of Ubuntu over any other distro, Debian or not? How is it better than regular Debian (cosmetics and catchy name aside). Why would I choose Ubuntu over Centos? Or Vista for that matter (gasp!) I just want to understand what the fuss is all about in a broad minded fashion.
