One would have to go out of their way to find much of it but there is some Linux elitism in regards to Ubuntu out there. From my POV the great thing about Linux is you can crank out Whax, RedHat, and Ubuntu for three totally different purposes and nobody is really hurt by it.

Linux needs to keep its minds off religious wars and on the task of competing with Microsoft. Vista has made M$ vulnerable and it’s an opportunity for open systems.

Hmm, sounds like the Libertarian party.

I suspect that for many pro-Linux people, this is more about being ANTI-Microsoft than anything else. It is simply a case of being anti-(big guy). So if Ubuntu gets "too big" in their eyes, they'll have to pull it down. Its part of the leftists idea that everyone and everything should be equal.

Note, I have installed multiple distros (Gentoo, Mandrake) in the past, and enjoyed the challenge and learning experience. I use whatever I need to use to get the job done, so I am no fanboy, of ANYTHING. Then again, you could say I am an Anti-Fanboy..

As far as the old guard are concerned, however, Ubuntu is no longer real Linux.

That's true. Ubuntu is easy to use, and people like it. ;)

“flooded with former windows users...”

Hey, I’m all for competition, and play with Linux distros too.

But that statement is almost a complete exaggeration. Lets at least be honest about things.

[Porterville]

Linux is fine. I use (set up and installed) Ubuntu every day on many computers... but it feels like it is running at 33% of Windows capacity.

That is still 1000 times better than garbage macs.
