"I have been running Ubuntu on a pair of notebook computers for about nine months. Initially installed 7.04 on each and have subsequently upgraded to 7.10. The upgrade process was very smooth. I have yet to experience my first system crash. Ubuntu and open source applications can easily meet the needs of 80% of all computer users."
