I used Xubuntu, which is basically Ubuntu, but for lower end computers. All I have to say is that it was a headache to get Steam running and getting Nvidia drivers to get set up. I can't say anything else, since the hard drive I had it on burnt out the same day.

I put Ubuntu on my PS3.

What a waste of time.

I have it on a laptop and desktop. You'll never get viruses and everything is free. The interface is a little bit different from Windows but it isn't hard to get used to at all. Only downside is you can't play games without using WINE.

Never even heard of it... I didn't think that this many people would use it. (The poll is at 3, seems too high)

I don't think you should be using Ubuntu.

A Mac or a bootleg windows would be much better.

Ubuntu was designed for Advance Computer users.

I remember there being a simplified version of Ubuntu for newbs. Can't remember which version though.
