It's a how-to written for a distro other than Ubuntu. Sometimes, if you look at the newsfeed, you'd think Ubuntu is Linux is Ubuntu. |

Linux what's Linux? |

HowToForge is not Ubuntu-centric. |

@Steven, How To Forge may not be Ubuntu specific but it certainly is ISPConfig specific. Seems like every tutorial is about setting up a server with ISPConfig. Not that there is anything wrong with that. |

True enough. There's a wash-rinse-repeat feel over there. Not that there's anything wrong with that. |

There is an obvious reason that people talk about Ubuntu over any other distro Caitlyn, they like it and find it the most agreeable, thats the way it is I'm afraid. Why are you so negative all the time by the way? I rarely see anything positive which isn't sarcy coming from you, its very off putting. |

As a writer, I can tell you that posts about Ubuntu draw more traffic than posts about "not Ubuntu." It feeds on itself. |

@patrick: You clearly haven't been reading most of my posts on LXer based on your comments. More are positive than anything else. Now, if you need to have a negative comment from me, well... your assessment of Ubuntu was true a couple of years back. I seriously doubt it's true today. A lot of the mindshare has moved on and so has at least some of the user base. I hate to quote DIstroWatch page hit rankings because they really don't measure much of anything accurately, but... the fact that Ubuntu has dropped to third over the past six months (behind Mint and Mageia) does seem to reflect community sentiment nowadays. |
