Good enough to replace windows


Very simple install.
No difficulties as most linux version with Wireless configuration, although believe there are a few 'war stories' out there.
Default e-mail client should be changed, but excellent OpenOffice and Firefox alternatives to Microsoft options.
Additional tools available via add/Remove applications include F-Spot, a simplicity/functionality eye-opener for collating your digital archives.

Exception community support available, just a shame that the vendors of hardware are not really Linux aware yet.

A very bright future for this version of Linux I believe.

Verdict

Ubuntu is a powerful, free, ready-to-run desktop Linux distribution that's eminently suitable for mainstream use. Although the complexities of the system impose a steep learning curve on Windows users who plan to support an installation themselves, our experiences with version 6.06 LTS suggest that this is manageable.

Typical price

Free
