[PLUG] 'buntus

[Aaron]

I totally agree with Robert.  I've used all of the major distros. I feel
Ubuntu is the best one.  Yes, the upstream dev's change how things work.  We
learn what the changes are, and adapt.  In the end, I haven't see any
changes that I disagree with. Even the xorg.conf issue, which I hated
initially.  Now--I know how to configure without it and don't even consider
it an issue.

Just my tiny 2 cents,

Aaron
