This is a really funny webpage:

Also please note that when I was reading /. today, I noticed more pro-ubuntu stuff modded up than I have ever seen before.
Look here:

Here is a good quote:
I think the most compelling case I've seen personally is a good friend of mine that's a total Mac fanatic. He's a geek, and enjoys computers, but in the past, he's hated anything Linux simply because it was too much hassle for him. That said, he's fallen absolutely in love with Ubuntu, and has been installing it on almost any piece of x86 hardware he touches lately. That's quite an endorsement to me. :-)
And another:
I'd recommend Kubuntu (http://kubuntu.org/ [kubuntu.org]). It offers you the very user friendly power of KDE, combined with the awe inspiring packaging of Debian and the quick release cycles of Ubuntu. The system will be very usable right away, but not as restrictive and Mandrive and Lycoris releases. You'll be able to hit the shell if you choose to do so, but you're not forced into using it by any means.
And another:
You were absolutely right... Ubuntu is virtual gold... still took a tiny bit of tinkering to get a couple things going (enabling DMA on the DVD drive, and finding the new repository lists to get used to) but I have 99.9% of the system going...
Um...this thing is big. I mean...we are rocking the Linux world ladies and gents.
