Ubuntu

Shiny. That's all I gotta say. I just started dual-booting it with Windows, and this thing is beautiful! I love how they've got an "Advanced Desktop Effects" plugin on the repository. It essentially gives me the best graphics of Vista and OS X, along with good performance and the open-source deal. I love this thing.

Kralik, I know you use Linux as well...any tips on Ubuntu?

Specifically...?

I'd recommend setting up VirtualBox with a streamlined Windows (nLite'd XP or vLite'd Vista/Server 2008) to run any Windows applications you need seamlessly on your Linux desktop. SdA, for example. My heavily nLite'd XP boots in about four seconds.

Where do I get these boxes from? Some programs created for Windows might be usefull on Linux.
