Typically what happens next is that I send that user a PM. In this PM I explain that there is a better way... A distro that is Ubuntu but yet bigger, faster, more powerful; a 'buntu fo' yo ass that will not only solve your problems, but also whiten your whites and brighten your colors, freshen your breath, improve your MPG, rid you of excess pounds AND make you toast with butter and jam every morning without even being asked. It was just such a "conversation" over this weekend that brought this whole issue to a head for me. A semi-new 'buntu user getting frustrated with various problems no one could seem to resolve adequately. I suggested he "bite the bullet" and (yet another) reformat and reinstall... Only this time, installing Ultimate Edition. I got a response this morning from said user:
Everything works perfectly now. I don't get lock ups, I never have video problems.. compiz is running full time, and flash works flawelessly. You were right again.. biting the bullet.. installing Ultimate fixed everything! Thanks again...
Awesome! Another small victory ripped from the jaws of defeat. I invited said user to pop on over to the Ultimate Edition forums to partake of the free beer and snacks, so maybe they'll show up... Either way, though, this is what begs the question.
Is it wrong to preach the Ultimate Edition gospel on the "official" forums? Is it in bad taste? Or am I just being stupid?
