I upgraded my wife's laptop recently to use the latest version Ubuntu NetBook remix after hearing all of the positive feedback about it on the podcast and was really impressed with how much better it was than XP as an OS. Everything just fit the form factor better. My wife remarked how much easier and faster it was to use. The only problem we've had is that WIFI doesn't work. We can detect the WIFI access point, but can't seem to use it.
