Dear Friends and colleagues,
I am a newbie on this list and Linux but an oldie when it comes to IT industry. Can i highlight that the main attraction of ubuntu amongst all other Linux derivates is its accessibility to end users. For this feature to continue to flourish it is best if everything from the bottom up is standardise towards the final goal of presenting it to the ordinary end user. In today's world unfortunately presentation does matter a great deal more than its worth, but that is the reality.
