Ubuntu's very special due to simplicity, and absolute simplicity at that, has 32/ 64 bit versions, support for almost all the devices/ peripherals and speedy fixes. But I've a single reason above all those reasons. Its based on the best of the distributions: Debian. I'm not sure I'm loud and clear here, so I'll go on...
Debian was once the most complicated installation, with hardly any other flavor than the German. Its installation was in German, all docs, everything. Not many could install it back then and therefore, very few got to use it. It was still the best distribution then. What is interesting to note is that the makers of Ubuntu built on Debian, the best distribution available then, available in the least user-friendly way and turned it the most user-friendly distribution without messing up the best things.
Whats more, you get to pick between plain vanilla Ubuntu with Gnome, Kubuntu with KDE, Xubuntu which is packaged for speed, Edubuntu for education and Gobuntu thats totally GNU/ FSF!
This blog is about anything technically opensource or copyleft-ed/ GPL-ed, obviously most of it Linux or connected to Linux in some way.
