“ ” said: “I don�t like Ubuntu because it looks old, I don�t like that Gnome desktop, my friend who
uses windows says it looks really old too.”

I don’t like this unknown character because he/she looks unable to express a
clear-cut, intelligent opinion and is so shy as not to give even a pseudonym.

Looks like that character, was it count Almaviva, who faces the Cyrano
de Bergerac and says:
“Mr. Cyrano, your nose is, ah, well, too big!”
If you have nothing to say, don’t say it.

Do not start with Feisty until it is released (not testing). In fact, unless you are testing, wait until a release has been out for a while. Reporting on test versions is fine.

In fact, start with Dapper (Kubuntu 6.06.1) the Long Term Support (LTS) version for maximum (sever like) stability. Automatix ( http://getautomatix.com/ ) makes Dapper do movies and much more with check box ease.

"Google" your computers individual devices (chip-set) for ubuntu compatibility "just works" ease. Use your newest, best computer and hard drive is you have a choice. Almost EVERYTHING just works now-a-days, with (k)ubuntu. If a device is not auto magically recognized; set up for you and ready to go then you’d be better off replacing the $20 device with one that does. It is NOT necessarily a failing of "Linux" that you bought a Windows only anti-competitive device in the mix. That is politics and corruption, not technical only.

Feisty auto install of "codecs" when needed is great.

Go with the best. Forget the rest (You can easily dual boot Windows if you wish).

Do not copy the downloaded Kubuntu "iso" file to a CD. "Burn" it as an iso image to the CD properly. Much help can be found if you’ve never done this. Also, you could just wait for your pretty Kubuntu CD in the mail (weeks).

New users much prefer KDE and Kubuntu’s default look. Then it can be made to look ANY way you wish; with more flexibility.

If you have less than about 192MB RAM (maxed out) then I suggest getting a system with 192MB RAM minimum.

I too was shocked at how easy it was to install codecs to play videos.

Feisty Fawn looks set to be a great step forward.

What a beautiful review. I just wish new users would read something like this first before slamming Linux in sites like digg. It really ticks me off. Linux is not a developer only envirionment thanks to distros like Ubuntu, things are so so easy and im proud to be able to find it simple and enjoying. In some ways Ubuntu is much easier than its competition on the desktop ;)

I am of course aware of some of the extremely small inconviences in using any Linux graphical desktop. But what angers me the most is when a new user comes along, slam abuse on it becuase he/she cant figure out how to install his graphic drivers (fiesty automates this now by default), and then just gives up without consulting the community (linuxquestions.org anyone? IRC anyone?). I hope this review puts some light in there, becuase it rocks. Its the sort of piece everyone should read before trying out a distrobution.

Good stuff man, keep up the good work.
