UBUNTU Linux

I have been using Fedora core 4 for now quite some time and its been a pretty good desktop. Especially if you are looking for a computer just for surfing web. It lets me watch BBC News at www.bbc.co.uk and Doordarshan News back in India with Xine Plugin. The other standard Plugin in Macromedia and Java runtime environment also work. Its easy to install and updates are available for free unlike for the enterprise version of Red Hat Linux.
Few days ago while reading about the top 100 innovative products that I came to know about Ubuntu distribution. The Ubuntu distribution has been named as the best distribution for Linux. So I am now curious to try it.
