I have been using this distribution for a few weeks now and it really works well. I really enjoy it since it works on every computer that I have. It detected all of my hardware whether it was my home system with a 64-bit processor and an Nvidia graphics card or my laptop with a Celeron M and an Intel graphics chip. It even detects and uses my realtek wireless card and my Belkin wireless card.
For the past few weeks I have been trying to get my HP all-in-one printer (F4250) to work with SuSE, to no avail. When I installed Ubuntu 8.10, it detected my printer and installed it without any intervention on my part. That is what a real operating system should do! I hope you will try it, I think Ubuntu is getting closer to becoming a true desktop version of Linux. I know there are many reviews of this version of Ubuntu on the web right now, but I don't think many of them were done by a user who has used Linux for as long as I have. I have been using Linux for over ten years.
If you have been considering trying Linux at all, you should give this one a try. It is much better than most other distributions. I have noticed that some people have had trouble with some configurations on the forums, referring to esoteric sound cards or video adapters but on the whole it is a very polished and usable. I have to post now, my battery is almost dead. Talk to you later.
