First, it was the Debian people who were jealous of the success of Ubuntu. They, at least, had some reason to be annoyed.

Now it appears there are others, from other distributions, who are envious too, and try to guise their envy under a veil of concern for GNU/Linux as a whole.

Ubuntu users head straight out to forums when looking for drivers. Its a real pain really. But there is an easier route (if you are Nvidia and ATI graphics users).

If Mark Shuttleworth's Ubuntu wants to compete with Apple's Mac OS X on look-and-feel, it should take a look at the hardware platform that serves as the primary benchmark for the design of OS X's look-and-feel: the iMac.
