Great operating system!
What do you like best about the product?
Due to its customizability, his OS has allowed my team to easily control and manipulate our workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a slight learning curve for this OS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu Server works on very low powered devices which allows us to spend less time and money configuring existing services. We have also used the customizability of Ubuntu to our advantage by writing custom scripts and programs to help us with our workflow.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Spend a lot of time learning the ins and outs of the program.
The most user friendly linux distro
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is the most popular linux distro and because of that, it has good support. There is an entire section of stackoverflow dedicated to Ubuntu. So I like that any problem I run into can probably be solved without too much hacking.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe this is just a problem with package managers in general, but apt-get and/or aptitude is just trash.
It breaks all the time. You always have to delete some lock file. Installing software and managing dependencies should not be as hard as it is.
I also don't like Unity, but luckily they are going to get rid of it. I use gnome metacity, and I wish it had more customization than it does.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use ubuntu as a development platform. I use it at work, and I use it at home. Its good for open source work. Most of the time is spent in a browser anyways, so when I am writing code, I prefer the linux environment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It requires a lot of tweaks, but eventually it will be the best development environment for you.
If you are a web developer, you might consider mac instead.. but ubuntu can be equally great for web dev.
Ubuntu also has some weird bugs here and there, so you need understand the basics of linux, such as mounting, and the grub, and filesystem organization, stuff like that. You can use ubuntu and not be a power user, but understanding these things really helps if you have an issue. Ubuntu can run on really low tier hardware too. If you want a server, I'd definitely recommend ubuntu server

Great OS for Development
What do you like best about the product?
I love Ubuntu. Ubuntu is easy to setup and easy to use. No experience with the command line? No, problem. Ubuntu Desktop makes it easy to use like you were using a Mac Desktop or Windows Desktop. If you are using Ubuntu as your server OS, you will obviously need to learn the command line. This is easy as there are plenty of resources online for learning it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not all software companies put out support for Linux distributions like Ubuntu. This means that some software won't work on it. The big players like Microsoft and Google generally try to make distributions for Linux, but sometimes they don't. While this hasn't been a problem for me, it is good to check that if you have other software needs to make sure that there are Linux Compatible distributions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Ubuntu for my development machine. It is nice because OSx (which is popular for developers) and Linux are both UNIX based so working with other developers is just that much easier. We also use Ubuntu as our Server technology. This is nice because it is so popular that finding help online for issues is quite easy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is great, however, I will note that on support, if you don't want to pay, you will need to put in the effort to learn the command line, because almost all information on the internet assumes that you know it. If that doesn't bother you then go for it. I've never regretted it.
Free but has issues with new HW
What do you like best about the product?
Being free and stable. Many alternatives to commercial SW
What do you dislike about the product?
Not compatible with new HW, I cannot use the deck fully nor the fingerprint scanner
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We do research on servers and it is the best way to connect and develop as our servers run Linux also
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try to look for solutions to the problems you face online. Many problems have good solutions. Ubuntu has a huge user base
Best open source alternative
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is actually open source but it does't fells like that.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are few issues like graphics etc, but can be easily ignored
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am developing wonderful softwares using ubuntu
Ubuntu : open source is awesome
What do you like best about the product?
Just install the things that you require which in terms increases the efficiency.
What do you dislike about the product?
Dangerous commands, which can wipe the entire computer. Don't fool around if you are a beginner.
Lack of some graphics software force me to switch to windows to complete my work.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mostly use it to organize and deploy my codes for the software. Use it for network testing and version control.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just go for it. Initially, it might seem tough but once you get used to it there is no going back.
Stick to it for just once and you'll be loving it. And as a bonus, it's less prone to virus :P.

Ubuntu, if you don't need to use any other software
What do you like best about the product?
It is fast, everything is great. I can easily install new software from the internet, really like sudo install and sudo update commands, it would be nice if you implemented a cool html button to click to automatically install some softwares, but I could see a security flaw, or like a button that can be rated by the linux community.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I have my hard drive partitioned, it messes with my windows OS partitioned drive making it not work well
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
web developing, it is great because it is fast, It is easy to install certain things.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
use the most up to date ubuntu as it may have the network drivers you need, and you need the network drivers to start everything.
When formatting hard drives, try to remove them from your windows right away, and linux, because when you view any files they use different filing systems and it messes with the windows, though linux seems to be fine.

Ubuntu was not bad, but some time has made me bored with some error popup message
What do you like best about the product?
it's a unix like OS, so the terminal syntax is very familiar and well known, scripting in ubuntu was as easy as on mac OS.
it does not need any cost, it's free for everyone, i very very love this one :D.

What do you dislike about the product?
it almost crash every I start the ubuntu, even in the morning, there is a error pop-up coming up in the window and then it asked me either to continue or ignore, it does not make sense for me, so some time ubuntu has made me bored with some useless error-popup message.
and the most important thing was ubuntu's battery indicator was not help me, it was not represent a real battery status. and also, Ubuntu need more battery power, so it was'nt optimal, I think.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Some programming problem, solve by some apps i ubuntu, it does not need any cost, everything was almost free for everyone.
Actually, There was more benefit I got from ubuntu, i had some project to handle and also I got some money with that free OS.

Ubuntu has always been an easy favorite to use.
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a very good operating system to use. You do not need to be an expert to install Ubuntu and once installed, it works better than even Windows!
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I can say that I dislike about Ubuntu.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is much cheaper to use Ubuntu for servers, than with Windows. We have saved hundreds, if not thousands by using Ubuntu Anyone that has not used this OS will be surprized at how fast, easy and cheap it is to implement.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Save the headache of using WIndows or Mac. If you use an OS for personal or work, this OS is right for you.
