I had a thinkpad that came with Vista, and after using XP for a while, I switched it to Ubuntu 10.04. I really like the OS, except for two things: installing software could use a nice GUI, and Gimp. Gimp was the deal-breaker ultimately. I need a solid image editor for my RPG, and Gimp is not a lateral replacement for Photoshop. Switching from Word to Open Office was painless, but not from Photoshop to Gimp. I now have a ideapad running Windows 7, which I like well enough. If I had a second laptop, it would run Ubuntu for sure. My second laptop with Ubuntu recently died. Hubski runs on a Ubuntu server. btw, I can't believe you're still using ugly hubski, /. :)
