Ubuntu Stealing Linux Thunder?
,----[ Quote ]
| OpenSuSE, Fedora, Debian, Mandriva. All of these distributions are perfectly
| usable for people switching to Linux for the first time, yet many of them are
| heading off to PCLinuxOS or Ubuntu instead. Why? Simple, they are being given
| a clear reason why they want to head in that direction. PR sweet talk and
| plenty of marketing via happy users.

Good article for Linux newcomers. For a change, that's quite an insightful
article from him.

Educating GNU/Linux users
,----[ Quote ]
| More – if you know more than somebody, as Ubuntu’s developers obviously do,
| you have an obligation to give them the opportunity. To do otherwise is to
| dismiss the average person as willfully ignorant. Possibly, I’m naive, but
| I’m not quite ready to regard others that way.
|
| Anyway, which came first: operating systems like Windows that prevent people
| from learning about their computers, or users who were fixated on
| accomplishing specific tasks. If computer users are task-oriented, at least
| some of the time, the reason could be that they’re conditioned to be so.
| Perhaps they’ve learned from Windows that prying into the inner workings of
| their computer is awkward and difficult. We don’t really know how many users
| will want to learn more, given the opportunity.

Divining from the Entrails of Ubuntu's Gutsy Gibbon
,----[ Quote ]
| According to the 2007 DesktopLinux.com survey, Ubuntu is the distribution of
| choice for 30% of GNU/Linux users. The exact figure is questionable, but
| Ubuntu's dominance is not. For an increasing number of people, Ubuntu is
| GNU/Linux. Yet, looking at the pre-releases of Gutsy Gibbon, Ubuntu 7.10, I
| found myself becoming disturbed by the degree to which this popularity has
| translated into uncritical acceptance.
