[some-what-Gnu-2-networks]

I've been Buntuing since Gutsy, how about you?

[Tipped OuT]

Since Interprid.

[kyuubi777]

[speedwell68]

Since Edgy 6.10. But I have been using GNU/Linux for a bit longer than that.

[Marvin666]

First linux was a wubi install of jaunty xubuntu. Almost a year ago...

[mjitkop]

Since April, 2007 with Feisty Fawn (Ubuntu 7.04). :popcorn:

[Psumi]

Off and on since 7.10.

[wilee-nilee]

3 years Ubuntu only started with dapper. Installed W7 when offered a student discount.

[joey-elijah]

Gutsy was my first love...

[Grifulkin]

My first taste was Hardy right before Intrepid came out.

[kagashe]

Since Hoary Hedgehog.

I have installed every version since then but never tried an upgrade.

[hellion0]

May 2007, Feisty.

[Sin@Sin-Sacrifice]

7.04 was my first. May of 2007. Time flies.

[lisati]

I've been using Ubuntu since Feisty (7.04) in June 2007. That's over two years.

And I'll be off to check out a familiy member's XP machine which has suddenly taken to doing the BSOD trick. Probably a virus or something, so I'll be taking a custom Jaunty Live DVD with antivirius tools on it, and a memory stick with a couple of manufacturer's patches to help XP update itself without causing problems & a couple of "clean the rubbish off" programs I've made myself. (Phew, I'm sure there's a more concise way of saying that!)

[greg963]

If I remember right I started with Breezy the day it was released, although I may have installed Hoary a couple days before then reinstalled. (I reinstalled a lot back then for lack of a better solution :) )

[dmillerw]

Been using Linux since Hardy, still dual-booting though

[infoseeker]

Since Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake.
+1
Tried other distros but always came back. I DO tho switch randomly between KDE & Gnome.

[koleoptero]

Since feisty.

[Techsnap]

I started using Linux (Slackware) in 2001. However I used Kubuntu for one year when 6.06 was released.

[some-what-Gnu-2-networks]

okay, it appears that people don't go to this area as soon as they use Ubuntu. They are probably mostly in the help areas.

[khelben1979]

I'm not using it.

[peter d]

I started with Dapper (6.06) and have been using it ever since.

[Ocxic]

started with breezy bager? 5.10

[Bungo Pony]

Edgy was my first, but I was still using Windows a lot. Sound didn't work on my PC. Then Feisty was released, and it was really great. Everything was working well for me, and I started moving away from Windows more. Gutsy royally sucked. When Hardy was released, I stuck with it and will do so until the next LTS version is released (what is it, Laughing Larynx or something?)

[starcraft.man]

Long enough.

[gungrog]

6 days.....;)

[aktiwers]

Breezy 5.10 was my first Ubuntu

[BinaryFeast]

Since 8.10, so a little over a year I guess.

[some-what-Gnu-2-networks]

Bumping just to get more votes :-)

[Northsider]

I go off and on, but over all more than 2 years

[Vitayalin]

starting ubuntu: Dapper Drake
before SuSE
after a copple weeks dapper drake stopped also dual boot
Niced software ever.

[madnessjack]

I needed to record some demos and didn't want to pay ~£2000 for Cubase and a mac or decent computer. Ubuntu Studio screamed out to me. Jaunty was damn good, Ardour is the sutff, did the job well. I upgraded and I'm also very happy with Karmic :)

[LowSky]

I played around with 5.04-6.10 but didn't get serious until 7.04. Since then its become pretty much my daily desktop OS.

I keep playing with Arch Linux and Windows 7 but I keep coming back to Ubuntu.

[some-what-Gnu-2-networks]

ReBUMP, I love polls.

[scouser73]

I started using Ubuntu in March 2008 on Gutsy Gibbon.

[Mustard]

Hoary Hedgehog was my first install. Dual booting win98. I really needed a new operating system too.

[nightrazer]

I first tried Ubuntu Hardy a few months. but now i run OpenSuse

[gn2]

Off and on since October 2005. More on than off.
Ubuntu has nearly always lived up to the "just works" claim for me.

I am not keen on the way the distribution is headed with retail opportunities embedded in the default configuration (Ubuntu One, Software Store) so I am still considering whether or not to continue using Ubuntu.

I have already switched my laptop to another distribution and may switch my desktop as well.
