I'm downloading it now. I hope it is as good as everyone says...but I don't think I will switch from XP yet though. Anyone else here running it already?

I am installing it right now. I am curious!

Currently running 7.04. I just finished downloading 7.10. Now I hope upgrading will be an easy process. Anyone here have any experience upgrading from an earlier version of Ubuntu?

Have found Unbuntu 6 and 7.04 to be a very underwelming experience. Hardware support, especially wireless and graphics cards, are a pain in the arse. Yes, you get a desktop, but actually getting decent drivers installed is not as simple as it should be. Also tried Unbuntu Studio, and found it to be pretty much as useless.
PCLinux is a much better starter Linux than Ubuntu, but neither are Windows Killers.Read my blog here.

I gave up on linux when XP came out. For ease of use and compatibility I'll stick with Windows.

I like ubuntu. It's great and it's 'almost there'. At least for ease and flexibility. I still use XP and Vista, but with just a bit more work Linux distros would rule. Most of us jaded MS fans aren't used to having to work a bit to get a OS working properly.
The only fear I have is MS buying up anything Linux and molding it to their own plans.
Keep trying Linux, you're sooo close. JMO. -
I downloaded & install 7.10 on a 2GB USB stick. Very slow boot, but most things work ok. Personally, I like more Mandriva 2008
Now, I download ubuntustudio 7.10 (this distro is more for "us", the video / audio enthusiasts).
Also I like to mention that Ubuntu 7.10 didn't like my WD E-Book for some reason...La Linea by Osvaldo Cavandoli

Ubuntu only supports NTFS read by default. You have to explicitly install extra packages to get write support for NTFS. I suspect your e-book is (rightfully) formatted as NTFS. Most distros ship with only NTFS read support out of the box, which is a pity because a good Live-CD is a great recover tool, if it can write to your external drives.

I didn't knew that. I shall try it!
in the meanwhile, I need to get a 800MB CD, cause Ubuntustudio is around 800MB...La Linea by Osvaldo Cavandoli
