Red Hat's announcement today of a delay in the Global Desktop Linux is probably helpful to <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/">Ubuntu</a>. I recall years ago a debate about Debian-based distributions and Red Hat based distributions. Red Hat distributions flourished while a new Debian version appeared to lag. Now, we have the opposite situation.
One of the attractive features for Ubuntu is the <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/">documentation</a>. For example, sections for Windows users are available. Additionally, simple documents for using <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/add-applications/C/advanced.html#synaptic">Synaptic</a> or <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/add-applications/C/advanced.html#apt">Apt</a> are clean and well written.
Years ago, installing Linux was half the battle. Now, keeping the Linux distribution on the desktop and easily updating applications is key to success.
