   Excuse me, but you do not seem to have understood the philosophy of Ubuntu.   
      
   This distribution was only that successful, because it managed to be almost    
   100% GUI and rookie-proof.   
   Like Apple. Like Windows.   
      
   We will get a better Ubuntu, if we get a lot of rookies, by giving them what    
   they basically need.   
   We will get a lot of rookies, if we catch them where they are, you don't    
   catch bees with vinegar (even if the best cooks know to appreciate the    
   divine taste of a good Balsamico)
