eWeek has reviewed Ubuntu Linux 6.06LTS and awarded it’s ‘Analyst’s Choice’ award, for being easy to install and use, the current best Linux distro in terms of usability, and has the best software update and install mechanism of any other linux distro so far.
Having used Ubuntu on my laptop for the past couple of months, I have to say I agree. In particular their software update mechanism is superb, if not a little like Windows Update, but it does the job of keeping everything up to date – one less thing to worry about.
