That is an excellent point, and precisely why I think Ubuntu is where it is. There are are enough &quot;reasons&quot; to use it for a larger group that even though some members would prefer a different distro they begrudgingly go along.<p>The impressive thing is that they can pull that off. Because back in the day you got SunOS or Ultrix or IRIX and by golly you had to use it, there really wasn&#x27;t a remixed flavor that you might even consider liking better. So with Ubuntu there are <i>lots</i> of remixed flavors and yet they have pulled together enough of the puzzle, whether its package management, system configuration, or hardware support that makes it the least bad choice of all the flavors.
