I can understand where it wouldn't be for everyone. Ubuntu is the first Debian based distro that I've tried. As far as tweaking goes...I've tweaked it a bit actually. I guess I spent too much time working with Slack not to be a tweaker. I will say that I haven't had any problem whatsoever with apt-get or the Ubuntu's version Synaptic Package Manager. Works like a charm every time. There is one thing that I can't stand about Ubuntu...and that's the color scheme for Gnome. I've never been a fan of brown.
