Don't get me wrong, I love Debian, and I don't forsee using anything
else on my desktop for a long time. But that doesn't mean I'm a zealot.
Ubuntu (and MEPIS and Xandros) is a fine distro, especially for users
that are new to Linux. For such a user, it may be better for them to
use a distro that comes with more things already setup, rather than have
to spend hours fixing lots of little things. Then they can still tweak
away as much as they want.
