why hate Ubuntu?because of Ubuntu ,Linux is spreading more!seriously!Ubuntu supports more hardware ,even some h/w manufacturers are noticing the popularity of this one distro.also deb+apt pwns every other distros!.
I think Hardy is not upto the mark though.
distros which should not be supported IMHO :
mint,ultimate edition etc.reason :it aint gonna help with all multimedia and restricted plugins installed.you have to first familiarize with Ubuntu and FOSS concept.
though I agree that ubuntu !=GNU/Linux.
there are other distros which too are good.but no one got the popularity of Ubuntu!reason -excellent support.
rpm distros are pita whatever you say!it takes more time to have it configured.also distros like mandriva,opensuse mess a lot with default UI features
Debian based distros are unmistakeably the best and easiest!
