The latest Ubuntu offering has been met with enthusiasm in forums &
mailing lists. :-)
Also interesting to note how many *genuine* windows users[1] have joined
ubuntu mailing lists etc, who are interested, & some with the intent of
installing (K)Ubuntu, either as a dual-boot or on a stand-alone machine.
A lot of linux users are also awaiting the next imminent release of
PCLinuxOS. I wonder if the download of that (when it's released) will have
the same impact on PCLOS sites...
