So...Ubuntu is a great entry-level OS?

:-)

Actually, I agree.  It is simpler for those new to Linux.  However, it's
as a-CLI ("a-" as in the Greek prefix: amoral, atypical, etc) as I've
seen.  I, for one, hate that.  To plug Linux Mint Debian Edition one
more time, it's what Ubuntu should have been: Debian plus polish for
end-users.  Or to say it another way, it's Debian with a focus on the
desktop (which Debian proper does not have).
