To be fair, XP is a few years older than Ubuntu. XP is just about as slow as Debian's releases. :)
The only issue I had with Ubuntu was getting it to run at native resolution on my widescreen Toshiba laptop. Other than that, everything else detected at worked. If you don't like Gnome, you can also try KUbuntu, which has KDE instead. (I prefer KDE myself.)

What impressed me first time I installed it was it wasn't overloaded with programs, just the essentials. And nice clean interface to boot. It installed on a Gigabyte board found all the SATA/RAID drivers (unlike XP), also installed it on an old Toshiba Pro lappy with out a hitch. It picked up wireless LAN without a prob and found all my Windows shares, HP Laser, Epson Printer etc...--
