Ubuntu has better fonts, more unique look and better package management than any other Linux i have used. In the bad old days (pre 2005) I used many distros including Mandrake. When I saw the poor OFTB fonts in SuSE and Mandrake 9 recently- it took be back to my 'Linux rebel' feeling. These days Ubuntu has a smooth feel and there is certainly no need for Windows. I have installed Ubuntu on 30 machines with mostly good luck. I think Ubuntu will hit the 'sweet spot" for huge numbers of new Linux users in the future. After all, Shuttleworth is hiring top interface designers to try and catch Apple. Good luck to my former favorite Mandriva- it has great hardware detection and tools.
