Ubuntu is the most freindly version of linux I have ever seen. I am impressed by its low resource use flexibility and HW compatability(I do have an issue with it getting to recognize my RAID) but outside of that it recognizes more HW immediately after install than XP or Vista. It is important to remember that the image you install from is updated more often than XP, Vista or OSX though. This is an OS that I hope gets some real attention and one I wouldn't mind paying for.
