Which version? Old versions were not good to say the least. I have installed Ubuntu on 5 completely different machines all from laptop to desktop and I have had no hickups. For desktop usage, I like how Ubuntu utilizes the Debian system and makes it desktop friendly. Debian has always had (I have not tested Lenny) a server approach. After using Linux for 14 years (starting with Slackware, then RedHat, Debian and now finally Ubuntu) I'm happy to get a system where I do not need to spend lot of time mocking about with configuration files, but rather enables me to be productive at what I want to do/develop. If one is a admin nutcase sure one wants something low level as slackware or worse... ;-p -- Preben
