It's true what they say about the plumber's sink.
Our home laptop runs Ubuntu because I don't want to have to deal with it. I don't want to have to tweak it, I don't want to have to fix it, I don't want to have to spend days dicking with config files to get it working on the non-standard hardware the laptop runs on.
Consequently, the Ubuntu version was severely out of date, and I didn't want to have to deal with the upgrade.
Eventually the lack of software support for the older version made it necessary to pull the trigger. I checked a few sites that promised me I needed only click a few times, and reboot.
I opened the update manager and clicked to check for a new version. I clicked upgrade, and literally clicked under 10 times through the course of the upgrade (including the reboot), and it was done.
Microsoft had better get their shit together.

Always good to hear a positive experience with Linux. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 from a live cd on my wife's laptop, easiest thing in the world. I myself am a KDE man so naturally I tried to install Kubuntu after wards, no dice. Which brings up a good question:can you download and install K for ubuntu? I'll have to look into that.
