You tried the WRONG Linux: Give Sabayon Linux a Try!!!

Although Ubuntu has come out of nowhere to be the top installed Linux, it's far from being the best, easiest, or even most secure Linux. Nor is Fedora for that mater!

Ubuntu is sort of your garden variety "Do it Yourself" built Linux install (and Fedora is just a slight step up). They are so into total non-proprietary installs and freaked by lawsuit fears, etc, or anything remotely proprietary (like GPU Drivers) are all left for you to handle getting installed. Minimal Programs and applications are all you get in either of these, configured or running on first boot.

Meaning it's the Linux that comes in the Plain Brown Wrapper and if you've never used Linux, you're in for a freaky trip with Sudo (sorta of access), instead of Root access (full Administrative control of your own Linux installation).

I try to steer everyone away from Ubuntu (of all Distros to begin with, NOT). Because if I myself have a hard time with it, after using Linux for over 12yrs, a noob is going to be completely discouraged. Especially in just trying to get rid of the feeling they are using a distro strapped down in Brown molasses, plain, Driverless (devoid of any proprietary programs, drivers, installed and pre-configured hardware).

The Hard Core CLI-O-phytes (Command Line only) Linux users are scared to death that Linux might actually look nice and come with all the programs you could ever use pre-configured and installed along with all your hardware.

So the Classic Battle between Forward to the Future Distros and STUCK in the PAST ones continues. Ubuntu is one of those Distros that will never make it into Future Mainstream America because of this.

If you seriously want to try Linux, give Sabayon Linux a try. Simple install, everything is included and it all just works (even your X-Fi card)!

Re: Security? Linux beats everything else by miles and that's just plain obvious with it's Secure Linux Kernel. Designed in co-operation with NSA (National Security Agency) for their own use!

Which Operating System is used on almost all the Super Computers in the World? Yes it's Linux or some form of Unix System!!! Ride the Wave, it's FREE and it's Open! Sabayon Linux!!!
