Ubuntu is still the best

Which Distro to choose? - Comparison

In this thoughtful, fact-based comparison between the distros, Ubuntu compares very well.  Ubuntu makes it easy to install software, easy to upgrade, and has a good combination of cutting edge and long term support.  Of course, this comparison is very cursory, and doesn't cover things like hardware support, multimedia support, or fresh installation.  Still, it's a useful and relevant comparison.
It seems to me there are two types of people:

• those who love Ubuntu
• those who haven't tried it yet.
