@Z I am glad to see you switched for the best. I understand that upgrading the version can be a mess some times. In my case, Jaunty works poorly and karmic is awesome. Keep enjoying the FLOSS!

I chose to try Ubuntu after my freshly installed windows suddenly crashed after installing all the programs and drivers and utilities that a PC requires to function properly.
So after the OS install and another 2 or 3 hours of software installation spaced by frequent rebootings, I once again restarted that system in order to start using it. And all I got after I switched it on again was the infamous BSOD.
It was that moment I said to myself “I’ll try Linux.”
I got a live CD (Hardy Heron, if I’m not mistaken) from a friend, and installed it quickly and painlessly. After the first boot, I was amazed to see that in contrast to my previous OS, Linux came out of the box actually ready for use.
It had almost everything I needed, and what it did not have by default, that could be installed in a few minutes but without the fear of viruses or malware.
I’ve been happily using Ubuntu since then.
(With the noteworthy exception of that fateful week when I decided to upgrade to Karmic Koala. My laptop froze more times in that week than in the previous year altogether. Needless to say I quickly reverted to Jaunty.)
