I work with Windows all day, so I get a bit bored with knacking about on it at home. I installed Ubuntu 7.04 on my laptop, and within a month my HDD had failed. Needless to say, I won't be doing that again anytime soon. It sucks too, as I had finally gotten things right where I wanted them with programs, etc. Ubuntu is the best of the Linux crop right now, but if it's going to thrash hardware, it'll die real quick.
