But,learning curve(if it is little bit steep),comes for a price.When you are getting the GNU/Linux community editions for <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">FREE</span> ,it is upto the learner,that he/she should try to adapt to the OS and its application as much as possible.Being an end user,I am not desiring or thinking that everybody should be a GEEK onto themselves.<br>
Specially,at present the various distros of GNU/Linux particulary UBUNTU and its versions are not at all rocket science to learn and work with.<b>It(UBUNTU) is one of the easiest and functional GNU/Linux distro. to date.<br>

</div>Why do you think its crappy review? He frankly pointed out what worked and what<br>
did not work *for him* - There is always a learning curve associated with new<br>
things. But his final point was would he actively seek to install Ubuntu<br>
(translated would I go through the learning curve ?) he says NO because it does<br>
not actually improve *his* computing experience - that varies from person to<br>
person and he gave his opinion.<br>
