This was the first time I've ever ran an Alpha release. I'm very happy to say it's all around solid. Only ran into one small flash problem, which I've made a post about. What makes this even more impressive to me is that this is all on my older laptop, Acer Aspire 5100.

No joke, this thing was easier to set up and configure then Vista and XP were on my laptop. Installed it and it immediately detected my broadcom wireless card and had the driver for it, right out of the box. Amazing. I love Ubuntu
