I would have to agree with most of the posts on here that Ubuntu and its derivatives are some of the best Linux and/or OS distributions out as of yet. Ubuntu has all sorts of applications, Kubuntu has a novice-friendly interface, and Xubuntu is the snappiest of the three…take your pick!

Chris i agree with you. ubuntu 7.10 is best os. i m using it with my laptop (hp 5112dv) even when the windows vista is bundled with it. the only problem i am facing is that nokia pc suite is not avilable for ubuntu. if anyone knows how to connect gprs (with nokia 6300) with ubuntu 7.10 plese tell me.

For the basic computer functions, Windows offers more than enough for the average user. The *nix flavors offer more controls and precision usually demanded by a power user. For a long time there appeared to be a large gap between these two categories. In my opinion, Apple has filled this gap with OS X. It has the simplicity and ease of use for new users. And the stability and functionality for those with more specific needs.

Chris, I agree more with the video you shot on this.

Mac fans are claiming that OS X is best ever. I will give it it’s props. It’s awsome. However, it’s not easy to game on it.

Windows fans can really claim that it’s familiar and that the gamers are there.

Linux can boast that it is Open Source. However, unless you are a programmer, if a driver isn’t there for a piece of hardware, you are boned.

I mean, I do plan to get a mac to use, because I want to use it myself. I love all the neat features with Leopard that you, Bwana, and Lenny show. Well, that and I want to get away from Windows crashing around me lots of times.

People get so hung up about OS features and how it makes you feel and whatever eye candy it has…

Frankly, I couldn’t care less if we were still using DOS if it could still run the apps I want… I don’t spend my days browsing through my files with the glass/transparent GUI came with the OS. I spend my time running apps.

If the OS run all my apps, then that’s the best OS for me.

Ok, some part of my post was deleted. I was responding to this part:
‘One of the things that I like about using linux that I don’t normally get using windows is a sense of accomplishment. I find that when I’m in linux I’m constantly googling on how to fix problems or install things (how to install opera on 64 bit ubuntu, for example, before 9.5 came out…this required a lot of workaround).’

Sounds like cognitive dissonance to me. But I could be wrong of course :)
