I don't understand why so many of you think that an easy to learn interface can't be combined with a very powerful OS.
To this day, I think Ubuntu is one of the best Linux distros, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to users that are unfamiliar with Linux.
No complaints here. I had my qualms about installing it originally given that I was already used to Fedora at the time but it turned out to be fine. The fact I haven't actually felt any need to upgrade to 10 yet must say something about the usability of 8.10
