linux distros have come a LONG way the last years, and especially ubuntu is a shining gem. my only gripe is the lack of a 64 bit native flash plugin for firefox, but that's adobe being lame. That and winuae are the only reasons I'm keeping my xp now. (hmmm maybe also civ4 but that could be run under wine I guess. maybe also winuae)

Well 32bit flash works just fine and Ubuntu will now automatically install it. The plugin installer works great.

Ubuntu 7.10 is really great, amazing really. I almost never boot into Windows anymore, only for the kids to play a game now and then. If I get off my but and get more familiar with Wine, I won't even need to boot into XP for games.

-edit-
BTW this is leaps and bounds over say, SUSE 10. With SUSE 10 I wound myself having to getting my hands dirty in console, which I usually worked everything out, but with a large amount of cursing and such. Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy, I've yet found compelled to bang away in a console window. Everything is automated.
