This is why Ubuntu is the most popular desktop distro and eventually 
will win on the server.

Like it or not, ubuntu IS the most popular desktop linux distro  and 
until other distros understand what makes Ubuntu popular, Ubuntu will 
stay #1 (on the desktop)



Example:
   Install mysql server.

On rhel5 (I think 6 is stil the same), you still have to manually change 
the mysql root password.

ubuntu pops up a window (or ncurses screen in text mode) and asks you 
for an admin password DURING THE INSTALL.


Yes, I know this particular polish is a debian thing, but it's this 
little polish that the other distros don't think is a big deal is why so 
many people use Ubuntu.

It's only a couple extra easy steps right?  Multiple that by all the 
things you do on all the machines you do them on.

just my two cents.
