    Don't get me wrong, I love Debian, and I don't forsee using anything
    else on my desktop for a long time. But that doesn't mean I'm a zealot.
     Ubuntu (and MEPIS and Xandros) is a fine distro, especially for users
    that are new to Linux. For such a user, it may be better for them to
    use a distro that comes with more things already setup, rather than have
    to spend hours fixing lots of little things. Then they can still tweak
    away as much as they want.
