It's so easy to slag Ubuntu
And it all depends on what hardware you're running and how you want to run it.
But at the risk of repeating myself yet again, nothing I've tried thus far works better on this very laptop -- a Gateway Solo 1450 -- than Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.
I tried the KDE and GNOME live CDs of Mandriva recently. Nice, like PCLinuxOS, but Ubuntu still gives me a couple of extra bits of functionality that I can't get anywhere else.
Even Debian Lenny, which is worlds better than Etch on this laptop, can't do everything as well as Ubuntu 8.04.
