Ubuntu Linux

I've switched my main box to Ubuntu Linux, to match what I've installed on Denise's laptop and her desktop as well. So far, I'm quite pleased with the distro. I can recommend it to anyone looking to install linux right now. The interface is clean and the developers made decisions that promote ease-of-use. It suffers from many of the same problems that all linux distros do (installing software is not newbie-friendly, there is no decent money program, some things that should work out-of-the-box don't, etc....) but it is definately the next level in linux user-friendliness. It's the first distro that I wouldn't worry about recommending to an Average Joe computer user. That's a huge step.
