Just curious to see how many OT peoples on here are using/used Linux. I previously tried Linux Mint 8 and had some problems with it so I switched back to windows but I have recently discovered ubuntu 10.04 and am very impressed with it so far, took 2 days or so to configure most things and get used to it though. I set it up to dual boot with Windows 7 with wubi which was a breeze and makes it easier to uninstall if I decide to later.

I'll add some things about Ubuntu 10.04 that I have noticed so far

1. Its free and every bit as powerful as other operating systems on the market in most ways
2. some hardware problems are evident for some set ups since not all drivers were developed with linux in mind so it may take some configuring
3. the software manager included in ubuntu is great and allows you access to an absolutely HUGE database of free software, introduced me to ALOT of great open source software I might have never known about otherwise (boxee is a great media center app similar to the xbox media center so can make your pc a entertainment center with a remote)
4. It boots and runs extremely smooth once you get your hardware dialed in
5. seems like there are countless things I have yet to discover (just started messing around with the compiz effects for the desktop and some of it can be really cool) and I have only scratched the surface of what this OS is capable of doing
