One requires futzing about to get wireless networking and sound to 
function in addtion to having to install audio players, image lib-
rary manipulation, DVD/video processing, and other things, and one
does not.  Which is easier?  Ubuntu is _not_ the dream installation
you are making it out to be.

FWIW, I recently upgraded from my Sprint CardBus EVDO option to an
ExpressCard EVDO option.  If anyone here is interested in using one
with Ubuntu, email me.
