I also am curious: could any of the multiple solutions be complimentary to each other? Like could more than one solution be used? Rather than spending lots of time and effort reaching a consensus on picking one solution, why not just go ahead with the first and easiest one, and if a better solution comes later, maybe it can also be used (if it is complimentary)?
More roads leading to Ubuntu is a good thing, IMHO, plus I also feel Ubuntu needs to act fast to compete with Vista. Right as you read this, many tens of millions of computer users are wondering what they are going to do about their Windows 2000 boxen not being officially supported by Microsoft anymore (now that Vista is out, and Windows 2000 reaches its end-of-life), so now is the perfect time for Ubuntu to swoop in with a super-easy alternative solution to buying Vista, ie. an Ubuntu which is very, very easy to install because a novice user needn't care what a BIOS is whatsoever, much less configure it. This feature alone could gain many millions of new Ubuntu users! Think about it. Cheers, Dustin.
