As some of you know. I am mac user for quite some time now. But today i installed Ubuntu on an employees Sony Vaio notebook (and trashed the pre-installed MS Vista).

To point out the bottom line first: I AM PRETTY AMAZED.

- This system looks fantastic
- The install is a no brainer
- Hardware detection rate -> 100%
- The Gnome GUI is super fast
- nice pre-installed programs

It doesnt even feel like Linux anymore, even though i also like bash. But this linux is so enduser friendly, that i am really wondering why anyone still "buys" windows. On our servers i still trust Debian a bit more but with Ubuntu, one gets both of both worlds. All the nice APT tools and a nice GUI.

If Apple does some silly things in one day, i am quite sure i would switch to Ubuntu.
