Having successfully bricked not one but two Linux/Unix installations in the same month (Debian Lenny-to-Squeeze and FreeBSD 7.3-release), I jumped on the Ubuntu Lucid bandwagon early — starting with one of the alpha releases. Over the course of the waning days of the alpha, through the beta and now a couple weeks into the release, I've had a few issues to deal with, needing to tweak grub2, Ubuntu One, Gwibber, Totem and various GNOME settings. But things have settled in a bit, and I'm productive and generally enjoying using the distribution and all that comes with it.
