In recent years, however, healthcare IT software is increasingly supporting Linux, led most notably by McKesson, which switched to Red Hat Linux for its server software in 2007.

Ubuntu isn't GNU/Linux ! Ubuntu is a GNU / Linux among many others! I think fans of ubuntu have an attitude sometimes a bit annoying. Like you, I use multiple distributions: CentOS, Debian, Mandriva, ubuntu and I am discovering openSUSE which leaves me at the moment a very good impression. yours. petitbob hello big bear,

i’m agree with you. Ubuntu isn’t GNU/Linux ! Ubuntu is a GNU / Linux among many others! I think fans of ubuntu have an attitude sometimes a bit annoying.
Like you, I use multiple distributions: CentOS, Debian, Mandriva, ubuntu and I am discovering openSUSE which leaves me at the moment a very good impression.

yours.

I did not say it was the same for everyone. The opinions expressed here are mine and I try to make that clear instead over trying to suggest that everyone must hold these opinions. Ultimately, you are correct. There are things that ubuntu needs to improve on in terms of config center beyond that, it is very close to making 'my' list of top tier. Mostly I do see the 'special' users, not 'all' ubuntu users as the discipleship would assume, as being more of a problem with the way ubuntu is marketed.

I am surprised that you wouldn't group Ubuntu with Mandriva, OpenSuse and RedHat/Fedora as I can't see what would separate them as each has its own advantages and disadvantages and I wouldn't consider any of these 4 as better or worse than the others. I can see where you are coming from though, I have similar conversations with Apple users where I work who can't understand that I don't find Apple products that innovative or enticing!
