That's like giving an answer to "Who can fix my leaking tap?" as "My cousin,
Moshe" instead of "look for a plumber.". You're doing a dis-service for all
the other distributions out there and help the Ubuntu hegmony, hype and
oligarchy. You can say "most desktop-oriented Linux distributions can do that,
but I like and can recommend Ubuntu".
And whatever you do - don't ever, ever, ever, ever, reply to me in private, or
I'll just delete your message.

Yes, I do, because they outcast me. But they may be a fine distribution
technically. I have a theory that they are going to run out of money, and will
have to discontinue their distribution, leaving everyone in the cold.
