My point is ___________ ! ( fill in blank with what ever)
Distrowatch shows it as neutral (Ubuntu), but in first .
It seemed that the post kind of leaned to influencing people toward Ubuntu .
I don't really care on way or the other , Linux is Linux that is what it is
all about , getting Linux on desktops and more companies behind Linux . But
still don't see the hype behind Ubuntu !
Peolpe say it is easy ,don't see it , but I don't jump on a band wagon just
cause everyone else is there .
Sorry I just say it like I see it .

Comment not meant to anger or influence anyone in any way .
