Well I've put Ubuntu 9.04. But I struggle with the 'slick' comment in this post from CNet http://bit.ly/Gviyl


Since when does 'slick' get applied Ubuntu? The first thing I did after installing it was download Skype. Firefox downloaded Skype (after I had to choose from about 30 different Linux distros) and then I tried the 'Open containing folder' option to find the download Ubuntu asked me which application it should use to show me the containing folder. I didn't even want to run the file! I just want to see where it is. Mac OS and Windows don't ask me this. So how is this as slick as Mac OS or Windows. Rubbish. Good job I triple booted it with Win XP and 7. I think Ubuntu is going to last all of another day at most. If this is the best Linux has got to offer (it sooooo wants me to open a command prompt and start typing "Sudo -bollocks -rubbish" and stuff like that) then I think I'll give it a miss. Not that it was ever going to dislodge me from using Mac OS or Windows.
