Re:What does Ubuntu have...

I like that I installed dapper and everything worked. I don't mean "it booted to a desktop and I needed minimal fiddling to get my camera working, oh and sometimes sound drops out but I got that fixed in half an hour... and I can't use my music player yet cos it won't mount", I mean I can install it and there's everything working and working well.

Well, except for zeroconf's daemon, codec support for the examples in the Examples folder, fully enabled repositories, a Firefox which has enough privileges to permit 1.5.0.2 to load itself, rhythmbox being actually able to play MP3s, and a wider choice of fonts besides the DejaVu/Bitstream families and Gurbhunktivar mud-hut glyphset, yeah, Dapper Flight 6's right out of the box, it is.
