yeah, ubuntu got really popular.
personally i don't use it, the distro focus on offering the latest bells and whistles sometimes compromising stability.
for me the good hippy stuff is debian (which ubuntu is based on), i like the stability the huge repository and the packaging tool, even though sometimes it's a bit frustating because of the long release cycles, but nothing a little compile-it-yourself won't solve.
i've been using it for years.
