Open source is horrible. All their fantastic software is just awful.

Case in point:
http://www.openoffice.org/
http://www.abisource.com/
http://flac.sourceforge.net/
http://www.vorbis.com/
http://openbossa.indt.org/canola/
http://maemo.org/
http://www.kde.org/
http://sourceforge.net/
http://code.google.com/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codebase

It's all horrible, buggy, crashes, impossible to run, cryptic, fun,
amazing, impressive, and will keep you from any productive work for
years and years....

Never install open source software. Only genuine Applesauce is fit to
run on your shiny boxes, irregardless of price. It's only money.

Congrats on your discovery of Ubuntu. Just think what a Linux expert
you would have been if you'd cast off the OSX training wheels a week
after you first booted it.

Got Root?
