Re:Is Ubuntu good? (Score 2, Informative)

Solution the the above users issues that "Ubuntu/Kubuntu and most distros don't have support for Quicktime, Real Player, MP3's, ATI drivers, NVidia drivers, etc. Often these aren't hard to install, but they can't be bundled with the original installer" Absolutely agreed...however you can install Linux Mint which is Ubuntu with the codecs already installed. Im using GNOME but I know there is a KDE version and I believe an Xfce version as well. Personally Im generally an Arch Linux user which is not newb friendly but can be learned...because Arch was the first distro I ever ran from Linux. Anywho I tried Linux Mint just to see how it worked out because of the ever growing popularity of Ubuntu and wanting to know if the codecs would actually work right after install. I have to say I AM impressed Linux Mint has been quite nice, but Im ready to get back to my Arch box ;-)
