[PD] PD extended, Linux 64 & 32 bits

[András Murányi]

Well, i never really used Fedora... I used RH back then, and when i was to
get back to Linux after XP, I have evaluated many distros, and Ubuntu seemed
kinda promising. Why did it seem promising to me?
- large user base
- entirely non-for-profit
- targeted the desktop more definitely than some others
- software with different copyrights avalable in a rather integrated way
(universe, multiverse, medibuntu)
- nice brownish look :o)
