I liked Human too (back when I was using Ubuntu, that is). I
believe this was my exclusive selection. Also, the fonts in
Ubuntu were gorgeous. Rarely do you get so many nice fonts
'out of the box'. Fedora is another distribution that
contains nice fonts. I am not sure about the /number/ of
fonts in old versions of SUSE, but I can recall Mandrake
having some large selection. Good luck with Ubuntu. Ignore
the noise generated by the trolls. If Ubuntu wasn't that
good, they wouldn't have to bash it so hard, miserably
alluding to fine-level details and -- moreover -- lying
about it.
Best wishes,
Roy
