Ubuntu 10.04 delivers usability, strength

IT World's Brian Proffitt says what finally convinced him that Ubuntu was worthy of the average desktop user: Proffitt installed it on his Mom's computer. Actually, this happened quite some time ago, so this is not necessarily news. But it's key to note that Proffitt indicated "average" desktop user. While he says he was very willing to recommend Ubuntu for users who just needed to handle day-to-day operations like surfing, e-mail, word processing, and the like, Proffitt was personally holding back from using it himself, preferring instead to use openSUSE, which enabled me to complete more advanced tasks, like video editing and conversion, pretty easily. Earlier versions of Ubuntu gave the feel of a pretty, shiny face over the old existing Linux strengths and limitations. Ubuntu 10.04 delivers a sense of a strong, cohesive operating system underneath. Beauty, for Ubuntu, has at last become more than skin deep. http://www.itworld.com/open-source/104760/ubuntu-1004-delivers-usability-strength
