    Ubuntu is just... I suppose "non-geek friendly" is about as succint as you can put it. It's Linux that's genuinely trying to make the whole system easier to use, and it's genuinely trying not to talk down to its users at the same time.

    For a prospect of a widely-accepted "desktop Linux" distribution, it's not perfect (or complete) yet, but it's got a hell of a lot more potential than anything else I've seen.
