Re:WTF?

no more dependency hell lol and as i said again it just works

LOL! ROFFLE! STFU noob, you don't know of what you speak. Ubuntu has problems on tons of hardware and doesn't work at all, let alone let you get in and fuck your system up.

As far as no more dependency hell, Ubuntu is debian. The moment you start installing stuff you're back in hell. If you want no more dependency hell, you're going to have to run gentoo or a BSD, so you can get a ports tree (or similar) and compile things. That is the only way to ensure dependencies will be built and linked properly. No worries about installed versions and the like.

Re:They will even send you FREE CD's

[the way, what're you]

You can get both the install and live cds here as well.

He is not confused about the technology, he refuses to learn about the technology because he is confused about the names.

Of course there are lots of people who know nothing about technology. Unfortunately some of them end up as CIOs. All I want is the name of his company so I don't invest in it.
