Xubuntu is under rated, its one of the very best out there, especially for older PII and PIII computers with RAM limitations of 256MB. On a modern machine this distro will fly!

I have requested that someone put a "sticky" warning that updates can kill wireless. In my case it killed wireless and add/remove. There have been other comments where the updates have killed video...

Just be careful with the kernel updates, it already broke my wireless and "add/remove". My problem was fairly easy to fix. But I seen others that had worse issues than that.

This is a great question, take a look at the System 76 prices for laptops with Ubuntu. Then take a look at some Vista laptop selling for $399 or $499 that others have wiped Vista off and put Ubuntu...

My experience with WUBI, is it didn't work correctly on the Vista laptop. While the actual install of Wubi and the 8.04 went well. On boot up I ended up with errors.

Getting a operating system and sixty days support for $20 is definitely worth the price. Now it would be a great deal if Best Buy installed Ubuntu and peaked everything for a extra $20.
