[PLUG] why not Ubuntu 12 ?

[Pete Lancashire]

I'm setting up a PC for someone who is pretty computer illiterate,
almost all Windoz. The PC will be the focal point for selling online.
Initially EBay and eventually a hosted 'shopping cart'

Input will be a couple camera's, scanner, etc.

Output will be a old LJ5M and over time a thermal label printer.

My Linux background has been 99% Fedora. For me it does what I want,
and over 50% of the time I live in a basic xterm world.

I'm considering Ubuntu 12.04 for this PC and looking for comments
issues etc. I'm not interested in religious or pie-in-the-sky, or
similar thoughs. Instead things like issues with printing UPS shipping
labels.

BTW I've been looking at Zen-Cart .. anyone had a bad experience with it ?
