I installed Ubuntu because I could not get most other distros to work on my laptop. I was amazed! Before I installed it I though there was nothing new in Linux. Boy was I wrong! Ubuntu is slick, it has a very complete feel, after playing with it for several days I am still impressed. I understand what the buzz was on the internet.
There are several hurdles for the average Windows user. I am sure that they have no clue about sudo, also a lot of distros will auto mount the Windows partition, but not Ubuntu. It is not a big deal becasue Ubuntu has great documentation online, it easily walks you through editing the fstab file.
My main issue with (K)Ubuntu is I like KDE and Kubuntu will not set up my network when I install or after install. I found a way around this. I install Ubuntu and make sure everything is working, then I use synaptic to install KDE. I can log into KDE and my network works. However, the first time I tried to install KDE I got some repository error messages and, of course, it did not work. I still need to add more repositories to Ubuntu to get all of the programs that I want.
I saw that Debian has started a project to incorporate all of the Ubuntu changes into the main Debian distro. Ubuntu must be diong something right.
