What's all the hype over Ubuntu?

[vincenzo romero]

Great thread ...

Quick question - for those of you who deployed Ubuntu for your home -
( i have played with it at work, indeed like a toy) ... does it have
availability of most applications that teenagers would like?  ....
itunes support?  etc....

My son's Apple G4 is a victim of logic board issues and soldering bad
design - I want to just suck the info out into our NAS drive and just
get a cheap laptop - wondering what linux version would be a good one
to deploy for home use ..

any thoughts esp vis a vis mp3 support would be greatly appreciated ..
