This is a very good product

We are a mostly Debian shop, but if it is easy to put Gnome 1.4 and KDE 2.2 on new user, once they get in the "Open/Free whatever" state of mind it is very difficult to restrict them and say "sorry but I want a stable release so you have to go with Woody"

So when Ubuntu came out I switched some desktop and now there is no turning back

Better than that, when I received a brand new Primergy TX150 s2 with a Promise Fasttrak SX4 raid card, it was certified by Suse and RedHat but although I do know my way around I was unable to make it work correctly even with the proprietary kernel-module. After a while I put (out of desparation I guess) the Ubuntu CD in it, defined a raid 1 array and everything worked from the start.

Congrats to the Ubuntu team
