And I have to disagree with you... "real Linux users" use LFS.
that is not true. Real Linux users use whatever is easiest, and get's the job done. I am friends with many database and system administrators, and most of them use Ubuntu at home (Gentoo and openSuSE for close seconds), and Debian is now the de-facto server OS.

People who say CLI or "the bare-bones linux" are for "real" linux users are people who are trying to make it hard on others, and don't know the truth of the situation. People who hate Ubuntu, do not know that there's more to the distro that meets the eye, you just have to dig a little bit further.
