But the thing is, every single family has an enthusiast cousin, uncle, who in the early 2000's ordereds tenths of CDs from ubuntu for free and gave them out to anyone pulling his hair out of because of an MS windows issue. Or you'd need to buy magazine offering installation CDs. The only thing Ubuntu did differently at the time was having a very simple website with a single download button and sending free CDs for free to anyone asking for it which was a big deal when nobody had decent internet connection. Ubuntu has never been easier or more straightforward to use it, it was just a Debian with a default Gnome, some different colors. Since the late 90's the main distros which provided real control panel for nearly everything were Suse/OpenSuse with Yast and Mandrake/Mandriva. Besides, ubuntu never provided real tools to free users from command line configuration. When first ubuntu was released, it just used the experimental debian installer that anyone could download and use from the Debian website. Honestly there weren't that many difference.
