From Linux

I'm trying out Ubuntu on my laptop. So far so good: It painlessly repartitioned my active NTFS Windows drive to make a second drive, it installed quick, graphics and wireless networking are working with no configuration on my part, and it looks pretty good. Nice to see Linux has made some strong improvements in the years since I've given it a serious attempt.

A few minor issues so far: it didn't report my laptop battery time remaining properly at first (it seems to be now), and the fonts on some websites don't look the way I'm used to. I've grown so fond of that "Trebuchet MS", I must find it in the Linux world :)
