Yeah, it is interesting reading these comments from young people. Maybe they first tried linux in the early 2000 and that's why they only remember Ubuntu.

Distributions like Linux-Mandrake, Corel Linux, Connectiva strived to make Linux a "user friendly" experience, well back before Ubuntu came to the light.

The reason why Ubuntu was a game changer was mainly because it was backed by Mark Shuttleworth, a millionary that was willing to pour a lot of money on his own Linux distribution.

I well remember mandrake - my path was Mandrake -> Debian -> Ubuntu -> Debian

I guess I'm not young anymore I suppose, I'm starting to realize I have lots of history as I've left my 20's.
