@Tony: You will not go back to K/Ubuntu because you have something better with you. You have worked both on Ubuntu and PCLOS and you seem to be happy with the latter :) Personally I have never worked on PCLOS but after going through your comment, I'd like to. If something better, easier and friendlier is around, why not try it? Thank you for you comment :) ...and Thank you for all your comments :)

Good review - good book.I think there should be such books on Elive or PCLinuxOS which are equal to Ubuntu in all respects and in some cases even better.

First I would like to state that I am doing linux for a little more than 4 years. I have no problem with any rpm or deb based distro. I have used many, including Kubuntu ( KDE ) for over 6 months I don't need a book either, other than the documentation provided with the distro and on the net. I don't want to start anything here, I just want to say that I am using PClinuxOS, and that it is more friendlier and easier than K/Ubuntu, certainly for beginners. Out of 50 students I have asked in the past ( as this has come up earlier somewhere else ) 42 voted in favour of PCLOS. There was no bashing at all. PCLOS is simply more friendly and easier However, I do appreciate your effords to write a book, as I am sure that K/Ubuntu users will need one. Last but not least, :-) I won't go back to K/Ubuntu, not even with a gun to my head :-) But it is definitely a good distro

It is a good book. As for Mandrake, now Mandriva - sure, it had problems back then with drivers - but so did every distro. Ubuntu is just an evolution of the lessons learned with those previous distros. Drivers remain an issue, less so now but still an issue.

@Rafe: >>Been asleep for a few years, have we? No. >>What about Mandrake, Suse, Mepis, Xandros, >>Linspire, and others? Suse, for a long time, was not a free (as in, "freely downloadable") OS, so that is out of the list. Among the other distros that you listed, Mandrake was the closest that came to be the perfect Linux Distro for Home users but it had its own shortcomings, more specifically, Hardware issues. I say this because a lot of people I know, including me, faced problems. And I am talking about things 3 years back because it was then that Mandrake was (maybe, rightly) hailed as the best Linux Distro for the home user. Another reason why Ubuntu gets extra points is the very proactive community. You never had that sort of thing for Mandrake. The community is a major plus because you almost get instant answers to your problems.

"[T]he home user base has always been wary of it. That was until Ubuntu came." Been asleep for a few years, have we? What about Mandrake, Suse, Mepis, Xandros, Linspire, and others? Or is this another Ubuntu attempt at some revisionist history?
