''A warning about using Ubuntu based Linux distributions:  The folks over at Ubuntu think they know better than the original architects of Linux.  Consequently in newer releases of Ubuntu many configuration standards, file locations, and startup scripts no longer work correctly, in that if you don't use the graphical configuration tool in Unity to make changes then you will have problems.  This is a very unfortunate Microsoft type mentality that is creeping into Ubuntu and may ultimately destroy the integrity of the distribution.  As a workstation operating system Ubuntu is easy to use.  As a server operating system I would highly discourage the use of Ubuntu or any of the Ubuntu derivatives.''   ''A warning about using Ubuntu based Linux distributions:  The folks over at Ubuntu think they know better than the original architects of Linux.  Consequently in newer releases of Ubuntu many configuration standards, file locations, and startup scripts no longer work correctly, in that if you don't use the graphical configuration tool in Unity to make changes then you will have problems.  This is a very unfortunate Microsoft type mentality that is creeping into Ubuntu and may ultimately destroy the integrity of the distribution.  As a workstation operating system Ubuntu is easy to use.  As a server operating system I would highly discourage the use of Ubuntu or any of the Ubuntu derivatives.''  ''An alternative to Ubuntu and that we highly recommend now (as of 2017) is [[Mint Linux]].  Although Mint is based on Ubuntu, it has a more user friendly desktop manager, better graphics card support for Nvidia (even though in theory this should be no different than Ubuntu, it is different), and greater stability among software.  Even Wine was easier to configure and use in Mint.''
