Ok so re-reading this message maybe i wasnt clear. but what im thinking of doing is incorporating may entire site, links, store etc into the forum layout rather than just linking to the forum from my html pages

Ubuntu is a Linux distribution that's totally stolen the show from the other distributions since it began four years ago. Dell started including it as an option last year. I think some other vendors support it too. It's not my choice but I find it strikes a nice balance between being fairly easy to use (as Linux goes, at least) and not getting in my way. Meanwhile, Fedora and OpenSUSE are supposed to be very easy to use. I found they fell very short of that a couple of years ago but I recently read the reviews for the new versions of each and it looks like a lot has changed. I haven't seen this for myself though.

Everytime I use Ubuntu I find it gets in the way. It was a hassle to get my sound card drivers working so I got rid of it.

This was only the other day, as well.
