Operating Systems Linux Choosing a UNIX Post 302825481 by DGPickett on Monday 24th of June 2013 01:02:15 PM

Well, while I cannot compare admin sorts of gui across all LINUX, I was impressed how much I could do on Ubuntu with menus and the tools on menus. You want a library, API, tool, you can search for it inside Ubuntu and get it installed and included in checking for and installing updates. I did occasionally need to call an admin for help, but even that seemed to be very easy. Ubuntu is designed to be for end users not servers, and has neophite-friendly GUI for that. I was rarely aware of X!
