Yeah.
Ubuntu is starting to get really nice for installing and it just working. I install LXDE after installed Ubuntu, then get back to work.
I've been running Ubuntu almost primarily since the start of 2006, with it being my main OS for over a year now. I have found Ubuntu to be perfect for my needs..

True - to an extent. But things bend or break still. A lot of things don't work out of the box - video, audio, etc.
And it's still an absolute pain to configure webcam drivers and make audio work 100% of the time.
