I do not see the point of this dispute.  Ubuntu catches with newbie bcz
its markated heavily compared to fedora.  I do not think stability is
the issue.  Debian lenny is extremely stable but i dont use it bcz its
too outdated and debian folks have a frustratingly long release
cycle(debian squeez havent yet made it to alpha possibly).

And its good that ppl are trying out linux.
