When the Ubuntu Linux operating system was first announced in 2004, few could have expected to become as popular as it has.

Since its launch, the distro's popularity has grown in leaps and bounds. It won the readers' choice award for best distro in the November edition of the Linux Journal. It's also won similar awards in the UK Linux & Open Source Awards 2005, been voted by Tux Magazine readers as their favourite Linux distribution, and won Ars Technica's best distribution award.

Ubuntu 5.04 had problems in its audio system. Many machines could not play audiovisual programs and keep the audio in sync with the video. 5.10 has fixed it and videos play well. The only problem I have found so far is in the zope sandbox instance. There is a missing file, but if you add a dummy for that, Zope3 works fine. Have fun with the Badger.
