Okay, so I dig Linux, but as a newbie.  I haven't yet taken the Torvalds Kool-Aid, but I'm pretty close with this new Ubuntu.

For those who don't know, Ubuntu is the #1 distro right now, and this new version looks to only further that reputation.

Like I said, I'm far from being a poweruser, but I like the theory behind OpenSource, Linux, etc.  Ubuntu has been pretty easy to use, and I've been able to tinker a little, even with my limited understanding.

My advice, give it a once over.  The best part is, if you don't like it, you didn't spend any money on it.
