I was introduced to Ubuntu by a then 50 or so old electrician about 15 years ago. He had bought a second hand machine from a school or something and the sysadmin there refused pirate licenses and pre-installed Ubuntu for them. When the disk broke (or something, it wasn't software related IIRC) he asked me to get back the brown system because he liked it. And that my intro to Ubuntu. I had used Linux for a couple of years already but Gnome before Ubuntu wasn't something I used voluntarily so it was a reql surprise to me that someone had made Gnome great. Anyways, since then I have said that Linux is for people who don't know about computers - and for people who know what they are doing. The people it doesn't seem to work for is people who have used Windows or Mac before and have picked up a few tricks and refuse to learn anything new.
