It’s very, very nice. Lots of new eye-candy. I’m all about eye-candy as of late because I’m tired of fighting with computers. They always seem to win.

If you decide to give it a whirl and run into trouble, the Ubuntu Forums are a great starting point. If you just want general tips, tricks and tutorials, then you can’t go wrong with Ubuntu Tutorials. It’s updated often with a variety of things to do on Ubuntu from the simple to the complex.

Enjoy!

If you have a busted iPod that's not covered under the warranty, I heartily suggest you give them a whirl.

Questions and comments about the article are of course welcome.
