2. - OH.. you need a VERY powerful machine to have an acceptable experience with ubuntu (min 2 gb, 4 gb better, 64 bit hi end dual core, not so cheap, to be free)
- ubuntu is *also* to/for beginners, but not only: it is debian with steroids, debian, i mean
- the community is a terrible waste of time: who know nothing troll, who know is elitist, and give very poor info, when they dont isolate you and make you a big laugh into your face
- there are post where ubuntu power users say that they don want to have linux on every desktop, cause "the others" are stupid, not enough intelligent, and ask dumb questions on the forum: that's the freedom you are talking about
- the are over 5 millions post in the forum: the ubuntu developers completely ignore the needs of the "base", and there is no mean to contact them
- ubuntu is free, but doesnt give you freedom: the policy about repositories is strict and obliges to install obsolete versions when you need updated ones (openoffice in 7.10, strategical and buggy ntfs-3g), and forces BETA software with no retro-compatibility (firefox) when you need the good ol' stable and fully supported version (see getdeb.net --> about, if you need (i spent a day to have ff 2 back to MY needs)
- ubuntu tries to make you a complete ignorant, though obliging you to use still the cli: after 14 years from redhat, if are in troubles you have no mean but the cli
- notice that they say the cli is more powerful: it's only s__t: the only limits to the functionalities stay, and they all always do, in analysis and design, they could implement a gui to have complete control over a cli command with all its options (i could do that in java, but there is no room for java in ubuntu ceo's mind), but they are programmer, not analysts, and notice that in the hiring section you cant never find an analyst post
- there is no support for the very FREQUENTLY asked question for the poor dumbs who come from windows
- there are no serious guides, you have to rely on debian guides if you hare able to find them, and have the time to become a certified ubuntu admin (for a few thousands dollars) to start to say something
- out of the box hardware support is a fable: i never managed to print a paper document with ubuntu (i have a canon, you know, may be you never heard about canon printers)
- there is no community behind the scenes: there is a strictly hierarchical industrial structure instead, and the last word is always up to shuttleworth, i dont trust him

1. you probably are not an ubuntu user:
