"Although the distribution has its downsides, Ubuntu does everything 
right in making Linux easy to use. I have rarely had to manually edit 
configuration files, and when I have had to there was enough 
documentation on the forums, the Wiki or the files themselves that I 
haven't felt overwhelmed. The fact that you can install almost all 
applications from a central server is awesome, and the detailed HOWTOs 
and dedicated user base make Ubuntu a great distribution for anyone new 
to Linux. It isn't as advanced as some distributions but still lets you 
retain enough power to do whatever you want.

Also, Canonical Ltd, the parent company of Ubuntu, is doing something 
that other distributions has never done—it is giving away CDs for free. 
You can get more details at the main Ubuntu website, however Canonical 
will send you as many Ubuntu CDs as you want, free of charge. I ordered 
5 and have been giving them out to my friends ever since. This is great 
for anyone running on a 56k modem or would like something less flimsy 
than a CD-R."
