Comment Ubuntu rocks..... (Score 4, Interesting) 171
I've tried various distros over the years, but none had enough polish for the rest of my family to use.
After installing the distro on a lower end machine (PII 350), I took the plunge and migrated my wife's machine.
She loves the eye-candy in Gnome. All she does is surf, email and use office apps. I upgraded to Open Office 2 and she's happy.
Past attempts at migrating my wife's machine to a distro failed. This one worked great.
My kid's machines are next.....
User support on the Ubuntu forums has been great. Any problems I run into usually can be answered with a search of the forums.
