What I have to say about Ubuntu in an almost ordered way : 1) The installer is amazingly simple, installation is so sexy I would reinstall just for the fun of it. 2) I had early issues with ATI drivers but now everything is perfect, I just followed step-by-step guidelines to solve it - took me two evenings, but it was the only quirk. 3) Multitasking is wonderful : I kill 20 apps, the system remains stable. 4) All wizards and monitoring tool are at the same time complete, and simple. 5) XGL makes Windows sexy and too fast to handle. 6) I was able to run PHOTOSHOP CS 2 using Wine with the default config. Worms still has major issues. 7) I am on Firefox right now 8) All my IM accounts are now integrated in ONE IM agent 9) Security is far superior, I am user all the time except the few times I need root privileges and the system prompts me for a password. 10) Downlads and moving files is transparent. 11) All my NTFS partitions are listed and I can freely go pick a Windows app and start it using Wine, and the likes. WITH FEISTY FAWN I DON'T EVEN NEED A FAT PARTITION. Don't know why or how, but it reads/writes NTFS beautifully. I am completely stunned. I am 90% of the time on Feisty Fawn now, I don't need Windows anymore, I had little difficulties installing, and everything is far more flexible and usable and stable and powerful than it was on Windows XP. So long Microsoft - I see the same gap between IE and Firefox as between Windows - any version - and Ubuntu. This thing rules, I am in love with my OS again - it finally FEELS like I am using my computer parts fully. Thanks a lot everybody.
