Agreed...I installed it on a spare P4 this weekend and have been impressed thus far. Installed quickly, Boots quickly, and even had built in support for my no-name brand wi-fi adapter.

Still running into minor quirks though that would give the average user fits. First app I installed was Galleon for my Tivo. A fairly critical libc++ library was missing from my distro that I had to hunt down just to get the Sun/Oracle Java installer to work.

Probably still not quite ready for the average joe...but getting there.

My best Linux box is down because I pulled the hard drive to help a friend out. Am thinking of trying Ubuntu soon when I reload it. I have been using Redhat with XFCE GUI. Ubuntu comes with option of XFCE and simply love that GUI.

How long have you been using Ubuntu?

Have you ever used XFCE?
