[Switching Linux Distros]

Glad you found something that works for you, skimpniff.

As for the future of Ubuntu...well, it seems they aren't getting anymore popular: http://distrowatch.c...urce=popularity (yes, I know it's not an accurate count of market share)

Linux has always been about community-driven development, in my opinion. Providing features the users want, and taking away the garbage they don't want. When a "distro maker" (for lack of a better term) builds more for themselves than their users, I can't see them being successful much longer.

I concur. Ubuntu was the first Linux distro I used. I wasen't really aware of the different GUIs avalbile for Linux until Gnome radically changed it's interface, and added Unity. I was accusomed to drop down menus and such, and taking that away turned me off.
