For once I agree with NucleasKore. The way people are adopting Ubuntu, it is going to outshine some of the really better distros (I would not take names but there are better distros for sure) just because of the fact that it has a bigger marketing budget than the overall budget of some really great distros.

I do not say that it is an immediate threat but if people start thinking that Linux = Ubuntu, some really good aspects of the entire GNU/Linux concept would be gone for good.
