Ok today I decided to give it a bit of a go, after my brother has fully moved over to it from windows.
Everything is awesome.
I'm enjoying it mostly, after spending a few hours getting things to how I want them -- which would probably only take less time on windows because I've done it so many **** times.
Here's a site people may find useful, I certainly did, its mostly just a huge long guide to everything you'd want to do in Ubunbu that doesn't come as standard. (mp3 + DVD playback for example, or p2p clients like DC++ and Torrent clients.)
The only thing I can fault is the monitor/resolution detection by X. which is irritating, and not a simple thing to fix. Basically the thing I need help with now is setting the resolution to 1280x1024 at 85Hz. I CAN get it to any resolution, but changing refresh rates is beyond me apparently... Twice I accidently destroyed it so X couldn't start, luckily I'd made backups and remembered how to fix it all :o
so yeah... hopefully someone can save me from doing it again
