Ubuntu? Not for me, thanks
,----[ Quote ]
| For GNU/Linux users who want to see the operating system become more
| and more mainstream, Ubuntu is a nice manifesto to brandish. You
| can't complain about GNU/Linux being difficult to install anymore.
| You can't whinge about not being able to use proprietary codecs or
| play DVDs. You can't make a noise about the problem of updating
| software. And you have to keep your mouth shut about usability.
|
| Then why would someone not want to use the distribution? I have
| strong reservations about Ubuntu, its motives and the way it is
| shaping up. The deal its parent company, Canonical, has just
| struck with commercial Linux company Linspire (formerly Lindows)
| to use commercial software from the Click and Run warehouse owned
| by Linspire is just the latest indication that, with Ubuntu, all
| is not as it seems.
