Re: Why oh why so many updates? Why I "like" Ubuntu said by Maxo:said by XCOM:Ubuntu is a bastardized linux version of Microsoft. said by XCOM:I am not trolling Posting an off topic criticism which can only lead to the degradation of the thread away from the help the user sought is trolling. I am sorry but I fail to see how. It all started with this Ubuntu is better than Microsoft.

For lots of people, it's Windows, for many, it's Ubuntu, for others, it may be Slackware. And the OP was giving his opinion on why he finds Ubuntu is right for him. |

Not everyone is smart in the same things. And while I understand xcom's comments, and appreciate how he/she feels, it does seem afield of the OP's focus.
Look at cars. Some will say a car with an automatic tranny is not a real car. Whatev. The world is full of variety and any OS pluralistic enough to come in various distros to suite various types of people is a OS for me.

I think the benefits that Snakeoil  was toting really aren't benefits of Ubuntu necessarily, but are common among Linux distributions with a proper package management system.
It would certainly be more constructive to note that the same benefits exist for a wide variety of Linux distributions, then to engage in the hyperbole innate in comparing a popular open-source Linux flavor that is developed in an open environment, to a company that produces proprietary software developed in a traditional closed environment.
