I love ubuntu. BUT you missed out the tortured hours an hours spent in following guides and searching and more researching in an attempt to get something that you need to work to work. I love Beryl but I have spent far too many hours trying to get xorg.conf et al to play nice with nvidia. I know its no fault of the open source community but for me "the truth" must include some mention of the sheer frustration you can feel trying this and that way and, in my case, still not having tv-out and other stuff that i took for granted with windoze. Ah well, such is the price of freedom ;)
