Ubuntu switched to Unity three releases ago, so I wouldn't say Ubuntu is nuts these days or has major changes on the desktop. Debian is also undergoing a similar change in it's desktop with Gnome Shell, so all of the distributions and even other OS's are looking at making their decade old interfaces more mobile friendly. I'd actually recommend Ubuntu in this case. With Canonical behind it, Ubuntu supports a lot of OEM's and is even preinstalled by most of the top PC manufacturers, so the transition from Windows to Ubuntu should be pretty straightforward. You can also purchase support from Canonical for Ubuntu through it's Ubuntu Advantage program. -- Christopher (CJ) chaltain at Gmail _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
