And two-finger scrolling finally works :w00t: And the Launcher looks even more awesome than before :w00t: Glad I upgraded.

And I learned something else: Uninstall ubiquity as soon as you boot, and future boots'll be literally minutes faster.

Well, yesterday I convinced my friend to try different forms of linux in his old computer, and from what I can tell, Mint and Ubuntu are lame, Fedora is a bit weirs, Debian is awesome, and forget Arch.
That's rather harsh

Well, I found Ubuntu and Mint to be rather fruitless and Vista to be a lot better.  However, Fedora was nice but for some reason it crashed while we tested it (so much for being pretty stable...), and Debian was awesome.  We couldn't get Arch to work, so I can't even judge it :P

Fedora is kinda crashy from what I've heard and Arch is just plain awesome when you get it to work :P but that requires a little know how.
Why are Ubuntu/Mint fruitless for you? Is it cause they don't look nice enough? ( I'm thinking that you also haven't really played around with all the customizations you can make to make it completely yours. I'm also thinking that you are judging based on how it looks which has little to do with the actual core stuff behind it. They all use a DE, which is completely different from the distro itself ( although Ubuntu has one made specifically made for it )

Well, it just doesn't seem to work in the same way I modded Vista to work with me.  Debian fits everything I want out of an operating system more than anything I have ever seen.  Plus, it's considered the most stable major OS, and is rock solid based on being free.  I love it :3
