I have owned many operating systems (AmigaOS, Windows, MacOS X, Mandrake, Suse) but Ubuntu Feisty was first OS I was really found of.
Several day before I've installed 8.04 on my new acer Aspire 5920G and everything works out-of-the-box! (except sound card witch was not very difficult to solve). My friend at the same time tried to install Windows XP on his laptop and he had many difficulties to get drivers and support because Vista is consuming whole vendors focus.
It was the first time I switched from thinking that GNU/Linux is good but difficult and troublemaking, conversely, Windows is not good enough but simple to maintain. Nowadays Linux is simple, friendly and useful and XP is harder and harder to obtain and configure. As for Vista, I was forced to by it with my notebook, I tried to cooperate with it for several hours but finally I did format and throned it into trash! It's true, not dualboot but one system-Ubuntu GNU/LINUX. I feel no sorrow, but it is not very funny to pay for something so unserviceable. Of course I could by Dell with Ubuntu but I wanted acer :(.
Today I can say without exaggeration:
There is no system but GNU and Linux is one of its kernels.
