    Very nice to see outside companies pushing for certification, it's just too bad, x86_64 would have been nice. I know many server-farms going from Xeon to Opteron, and partial certification isn't going to help those pushing newer hardware.

    I adore Ubuntu. I had Mandrake running on one of my boxen for a while. When I did a system upgrade that included updates to Samba, I found I could no longer START Samba. Which pissed me off, because I was using this system as a file server for my Windows machines.
    So I installed Ubuntu instead, and although I've updated both my kernel and Samba, my configuration is intact, and it runs perfectly. I'm running 5.10 (Breezy Badger), and so far I love it. It's quick, it's intuitive, it's user-friendly, it's FREE, and it's robust.
    Only one problem... I can't get my nVidia card to install the GLX drivers. Not that I have EVER been able to do that under Linux on that box... but that's another story.
    Ubuntu + samba + me = love.
