Ubuntu is the Windoze of the Linux world. It's big, fat, slow, overcomplicated, and breaks way too often...
I already had converted my laptop's distro over to Archlinux, and due to the fact that I was so impressed with it's simplicity and ease of customization, I have now put it on what I call my "remote box," which I keep headless at the family buisiness. It soaks up all the torrents I want, and I use it to store/backup my stuff, and bypass internet blocks.
Anyway, it was running Kubuntu server for a while, with X setup so I could use VNC when I got lazy. I tried to upgrade, and I got into some package dependency hell issues, and got mad, which prompted me to install arch. No gui required. X isn't even on the thing. I have Azureus consoleui setup, using the web interface to control it, with ipblock keeping me safe from snoops. Furthermore, tools like Webmin are nice to have, and I went ahead and set it up as a LAMP, as it's convenient for testing, and RPC pinging my moneymaking blogs, as well as serving my files remotely...all protected, though, through whatever password schemes necessary.
Whatever the case, it only uses 100mb of ram or so, and the install is only 800megs. Wow.
I'm not saying that Ubuntu sucks, but it does for power users...for n00bs learning about Linux, it's a pretty good fit.
