Today I went to a Speech and Debate meet, (Yes, I'm even nerdier than just being involved with FRC) and there was a kid during break time who started up Ubuntu. Of course I had to run over and give him a high five.

On the note of Ubuntu, there are a few things that I can point out that I see are wonderful, and not so much.

First off, Ubuntu is a wonderful distribution because it allows people the choice to their operating system. Before You had an Apple computer, or a Windows computer. Most people hadn't even heard of Linux. Then Ubuntu came along, and from it other distributions have evolved with the same mentality, like Mint. It also has one of the greatest communities that will solve almost any problem presented to them.

The only bad thing that Ubuntu does is force core packages (Firefox, F-Spot, fileroller, other small programs), and there are few optimizations for your architecture. But even through these two disadvantages, Ubuntu is still really fast and clean.
