One operative system for all desktops and laptops
What do you like best about the product?
I work as network administrator of a Linux oriented company and for me work with Ubuntu it's essential. I use it as desktop environment but also it's reliable to other tasks, including use it as a server operative system.
One of the things that I like from Ubuntu is the releases program, there are new releases every six months, and main updates every two years, this means that you can get your system updated very often. Also this releases are available with different graphical environments, Gnome, KDE, xFace or unity.

Also Ubuntu it's much faster than their competitors, needs less hardware resources and it's more stable.

Focusing more to Ubuntu kindness, its compatible with almost all hardware available and there are a very big repositories of packages available, that allows the users to use lots of applications.

Ubuntu
What do you like best about the product?
There are some interesting features in new distribution of Ubuntu:
* Ubuntu invites you actively on your welcome screen to use Livepatch, its system of updates that allows you to do things like patching the kernel to solve security problems without having to restart the computer.
* The configuration menu is in its best state, it is extremely direct to the point, everything is well organized and allows you to change a large number of adjustments in a simple and above all, understandable way.
* Encryption is more prominently touted in the installer, and this also means using LVM, which is not something that Ubuntu ever advertised or used.
*Ubuntu also has a new task application ("To-Do" in English), it's barely in the bones, but it also has the potential to synchronize with your Google notes.

What do you dislike about the product?
*The customization options are few or nonexistent.
*UI graphics based in Gnome 3 by default setting, no show desktop button, no taskbar or panel of any kind, no window control buttons, and lots of other simple things you need or expect - such a desktop is a complete and utter failure.
*Software management is largely broken. The USC tool gets replaced by a bag of mediocrity called Gnome Software. It's ugly, and it's useless.
*Problems with Samba connectivity.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
The truth is that there is not much to complain about, since the latest version is one of the best versions of Ubuntu that we have enjoyed in several years, and that allows us to imagine again a brilliant future of the distro for those who had become disenchanted with Ubuntu for some time.
A good alternative to SVN and GIT
What do you like best about the product?
Bazaar allows you to create a shared repository for develop code. It's interesting when there are lots of persons developing together.
What do you dislike about the product?
in general it fulfills its function, but it's a bit difficult to maintenance and administration, basically the permissions of the users and the rights with the different branches.
But the main problem of bazaar, is that there are no releases since 2011!!
