Infact I liked the Ubuntu presentation and desktop,sharp and clean, but something strange about me, I guess, I really need my mouse to work!

The single biggest problem with Linux is there is no standard package management software. And I keep thinking Hey, this is supposed to be open source, why the heck are they making software sharing so difficult...??? But each one gets into their own pseudo-proprietary kick and whatever distro you chose, you’ve already locked yourself out of 90% of the development community.

Doesn’t make sense.

I totally agree.

I’ve made similar points in linux forums in the past, but usually got shouted down.

Too much of anything is a bad thing, and that includes choice.
