Yea I Unbuntu since the get go as well, it's become bigger and bigger the blue print is probably on a DVD-R by now or at least close to the 4.7 gigs, super stable, out of all the lightning storms, electrical chaos or power failures we've had in the area that box always remains up and stable no matter what, of course there's battery back up but I can pull the plug on that machine without it expecting anything and it will boot up like nothing happened
All there ulities, multimedia apps, video apps and Open Office has greatly improved as well.
I also use a Remote Win app to get to my Ubuntu box and it's like a little slice of heaven on the side while being on my Vista Punisher box.
