Not to start a flame war, but why avoid Ubuntu?  Every distro has its
short coming, but I find apt much easier to deal with then rpms, yum
or yast and the fact that you can Google "Ubuntu
<question/problem/program>" for whatever you might want and find
Ubuntu specific instructions has always been really nice.  I know from
the Ubuntu mailing lists that 9.10 had some issues, especially with
Intel video chipsets, (I am still using Hardy, their last long term
support release), but I was wondering if you had any specific issues
or reasons why Red Had or openSUSE is better than Ubuntu.
