Ubuntu 6.10 (64-bit PC Edition) 
2007-01-12
I needed it for my new computer. It loaded up like a champ and has been working well ever since.
Ubuntu Linux, almost enough for anyone 
2007-01-03
As a 6-year Linux user, I am quite used to the inevitable shortcomings of my favorite OS. Ubuntu, however, has removed a lot of the caveats and explanantions I have had to provide non-users in the past. The installer, launched from the Live "try before you buy" Ubuntu CD, is intuitive and leaps ahead of other installers. The software list is extensive. The Synaptic software management tool is a sheer delight, once you acquaint yourself with it. Add to this the rock-solid performance of Linux in general and a charming look and feel provided by Canonical's community contributors, and you have a tight Linux package that is worthy to be tried by anyone. The community-based support tools rarely fail. If you can Google up data, you can easily find help with Ubuntu.
The real quibbles would be the nagging lack of support out-of-box for proprietary file formats and hardware compatibility, but with a bit of thought and some net-searches for solutions (and don't forget the community pages!), most everything can be sorted out.
All said, Linux is still more "work" than the Microsoft and Apple offerings, but the work is well worth it, thanks to the hard working folks at Canonical.
