Does Ubuntu Make Linux Look Bad?

,----[ Quote ]
| One may argue that Linux is not supposed to be 
| âone size fits all.â It was never meant to be 
| an all-in-one solution. Linux is not Windows! 
| It can be just about whatever you want it to 
| be, as much or as little as you desire.
| 
| This is an eye-of-the-beholder thing. To a 
| newbie who has known only Windows or Mac, 
| Ubuntu and other similar Linux distributions 
| make Linux look beautiful! Simple, graphical, 
| versatile, powerful, infinitely configurable. 
| Itâs âone-size fits allâ is simply what they 
| have come to expect from an operating system 
| because thatâs all they know.
