Realize that is who Ubuntu is aiming at, converts. I know Unix has many superior features and I'm for it, but the Ubuntu people want to make the transition easy and have already made a lot of changes from other distros. If they are going to go in that direction, they should go all the way. Then if those people get interested in trying slackware or something else more Unixy the difference is su vs sudo not oh my god what do you mean the command line?
- brlewis 19y agoI think it's worthwhile for Ubuntu to aim at converts from Windows. I also think this experiment was useful. I just thought the significance of the result should have been stated differently. Making Ubuntu friendly for computer-illiterate people is a separate, but also worthwhile goal, and would call for different experimental subjects.
